I just had a pretty nice temporary recovery a few weeks ago, only for like a week, but it was a big difference in how my body felt, how my mind was working…just got me thinking about recoveries and whether ours are all the same and what if anything can they teach us about the predicament we are in.
I have had a few recoveries and “mini-recoveries” as well, and I just wonder if anyone else is in a similar boat
Quit July 2009
Doing pretty well all around until around February 2011
Recovery August 2011 into September 2011
September 2011 - Major Crash which I have never completely bounced back from
April 2012 - Recovery - Possibly in response to multivitamin - about 10 days - erection strength still weaker than pre-fin
December 2012 - Mini Recovery only lasted like 2 or 3 days
March 2013 - Recovery - about 7 days
When I have a recovery the first thing I notice is how different my whole body feels…when I am exercising I just “feel” it more. If I am out of shape (Like I am now) my, my body just feels more disgusting and I have the urge to go exercise more. Acne returns. Like serious teenage painful zits. My scrotum has a completely different feel to it. Like the skin is thicker. Sometimes testicles are bigger, but this most recent time they weren’t. Sleep is better. All senses are better, especially smell. And the biggest thing is clarity of thought. I remember things, can concentrate easier, remember how things made me feel in the past. And I don’t feel depressed about life. I feel optimistic things will work out.
Both major recoveries had crashes right after I exercised pretty hard. I wonder if that is related.
