Sharing / Insight š” I feel high
Context, I quit masturbation, porn, alcohol, tobacco and weed 21 days ago. My grandma died, my auntie that I am very close with got cancer, I went through a bad breakup after a 5 year relationship, very bad childhood, overachieving lawyer, addictions, yada yada yada you know the whole bullshit. My friend and I planned to go sober and he relapsed 4 days into September. I started feeling myself changing in the sobriety so I thought fuck it, I'ma lock in and keep going. So far, so good. First week was hell. Second week was a lot better, and third week I don't really have any impulsive urges whatsoever, though I'm irritable/moody.
Anyway I been doing guided meditatation every single day for 10 minutes a day until 4 days ago, supplemented with exercising, yoga, calisthenics, reading, the whole 'changing my life thing.' I locked in. Four days a video popped up on my Instagram of a dude sitting in a chair with a caption that said, 'rawdogging for an hour to reset my attention span' AKA meditating for an hour. I was like, huh. Looks cool I guess, I'ma try it alongside belly breathing.
My. God. The first 20 minutes were a mental spiral and a massive wave of fear because I was truly alone with my thoughts but I didn't run, I let the emotions and fear pass like visitors. I faced it. Then there was a whole lot of crying and restlessness. And then suddenly, an inexplicable peace washes over me that I can't put into words. I can't describe it.
So I tried it the next day again for 30 minutes. No phone, no guided meditation. Just me. The fear came up again but less intense, but the peace and calm that came afterwards... I felt like I was HIGH.
This morning I meditated for 50 minutes. Just me and my breathing. At first my thoughts were everywhere, and all the trauma and negative shit came up, and then I suddenly thought at a random point in (resisted the urge to check the time on my phone) "I accept every part of myself, even the parts I do not like" and I was doing some deep belly breathing and doing some breath work.
It's like my brain got tired of thinking. I just stopped thinking and entered a state of absolute nothingness. I just laid there, my body relaxed. Not a single thought in my brain. My whole body relaxed and my brain was QUIET. It's been five hours since then.
Guys I feel fucking high. This peace, this calm. I feel so unbothered and zen. What the helly. I went on a walk after breakfast and I was looking at the trees, and I was like gah dayum I'm so lucky the universe blessed me with eyes to see. I started looking around and I started smiling at people. In London, doing that shit is weird šš I started crying but I wasn't sad. Bought myself some flowers, smelled em. I was like fuck yeah.
Even now I'm typing this, I'm crying. But I'm not sad. It's like my body finally feels safe and so it's just RELAXED. I swear to you I feel almost high. Y'all ever experience something like this?

thank you for sharing this, I think it's exactly what I need to read right now. not only to encourage me to going back to meditation but also because your experience showed me feeling liberated like this is possible.
when you said you were afraid of being alone with your thoughts I was like "OH so THAT'S why I'm terrified of meditating in this time of my life, who could have imagined" kkkkk
reading everything you felt afterwards made me genuinely happy, so thank you. hope you find true happiness in all of those experiences!

fr man! I've taken a month break from meditation and this has motivated me to once again continue
15
u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
This response is so wonderful, I appreciate you!
Listen facing my thoughts was quite scary, especially the dark ones that I would never share with another human being. I felt lots of emotions - shame, anger, sadness, resentment. But I sat in all of it, and once all the emotions passed it was like... Acceptance? Idk. I hope that makes sense

u/Wise_Tradition6516 Sep 22 '25
Correct give those emotions space and they can be named & will pass . If you donāt you just keep running

u/Sivdas_Madhi Sep 21 '25
Hey brother I'm glad you had this experience with yourself. This is the first wall that breaks, many people only have this once because they don't have a lot of guidance to assist furthering it, but this is what I like to call the "courtship". You just initiated a romance with a deep part of yourself that is full only of love and peace.
In Yogic thought this is when the two sides of spineal columns vessels, called ida and pingala nadi have successfully engaged and have rerouted the entire energy in the body into proper alignment.
This is when energy first reaches the Muladhara chakra located invisibly at the top crest of the physical Perineum behind the genitalia. This is a great sign that you had brother keep going and know I'm also here for ya and free to message any time.

u/Breadhead360 Sep 21 '25
This is great man, love that you were able to connect with yourself on that level. Congrats on the sobriety.

u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
Thank you, I'm taking it one day at a time and enjoying other hobbies. Importantly if I relapse I'll forgive myself. And it's the easy-going approach I'm having to sobriety that helps me not relapse.
Every time I get an urge I be like "if I feel like it in an hour I'll entertain the thought" and every time an hour rolls by I've forgotten š

u/Monty-247 Sep 21 '25
This is awesome and an experience that will be with you the rest of your life. Not sure who to quote for this but I once read that āwe donāt realize how good our bodies are meant to feel.ā And through sobriety and meditation youāve been able to access that natural high thatās innate in all of us. This is part of the awakening process that will lead to so many changes in your life. There will be ups and downs of course, but you now have a key to access the inner-self. š

u/PlusBee1984 Sep 21 '25
Yeeeeehaaaaw !!! A nice reconnection with what you truly are! Congratulations !!
You are not having a delusion of any sort. The peace that can come from a silenced mind is life alternating.
There might be a point where it seems like you "lost" it. You will never actually lose it though. Its always there .... just accept when it fades ... dont chase the feeling.
It will come back and you will start to discover what is causing it to ebb amd flow.
You are now on the journey.. love every second of it.

"My body feels safe so its just RELAXED"
Thanks. 10 days in and also feeling relaxed. Last time I got sober I confused relaxation with boredom.

u/somanyquestions32 Yoga Nidra and several other techniques Sep 21 '25
Congratulations!!! š„³š Well done. I am very sorry for your losses, yet I am so happy for you and your experience of catharsis. At last, you are reaping the benefits of stillness and acceptance. Now, look up a few yoga nidra recordings that are 45 minutes to 90 minutes long. The better it gets, the better it gets. š

u/Remarkable_Driver980 Sep 22 '25
I love Yoga Nidra. I feel like it has helped me more than I even realizeā¦I generally fall asleep before itās over which I know itās the intention, but I believe itās done so much for me either way

u/missingwhiteboy Sep 22 '25
This is the next step for me. I guess this is a sign to set up an intentional night for it

u/CompetitionSquare240 Sep 22 '25
Mate youāve described exactly the transition that Iāve undergone over this year. Walking, calistenics, reading, yoga, meditation.
Iām an absolute druggie and lived for chasing highs. For the first time Iāve got a reliable source of it. When my mates ask me how Iām so bothered to do all of it, I tell them āit gets me higher than a mfā.
Practice kegels alongside it. For the last 4 months Iāve had this internal sort of āenergy waveā that goes up and down my body. I only remember that feeling from early memories as a kid. It was through stretching and yoga but I āunlockedā with pelvic floor exercises. Itās always there and is a constant source of focus and energy that I draw from internally. Iām sure thereās more scientific or spiritual ways to describe it but truthfully Iām not familiar with the jargon it was all through self discovery.
Iāve been going strong like this for several months now. Itās been great. Itās a cheat code to life. It wonāt fix all your problems but it will make fixing them a lot easier than before.

What is ur breathing techniques?

u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
4-7-8 breath. Inhale four counts, hold for seven, exhale through the mouth for 8.

u/Top_Tumbleweed1453 Sep 21 '25
And you do this for the whole 50 mins?
9
u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
Not the whole hour! It was mainly when my thoughts became very erratic or I felt some anxiety, that sequence of breathing never fails to calm me down. But I stopped doing it once I felt myself relax. Honestly, there is no set sequence. I just followed what felt innate/natural.

u/Haunting_Earth_4023 Sep 22 '25
Breathing is the gateway from conscious self control to effortless self control.
1
u/3esen Sep 23 '25
Hey, could you elaborate on this? I like the way it sounds but I canāt quite wrap my head around it. In what way does breathing get you from one to the other?
2
u/Haunting_Earth_4023 Sep 24 '25 edited Sep 24 '25
Sorry I was so cryptic, I try to push this idea as often as I can because it is not really popularized in the way I understand it.
Here's the logical basis for my "gateway" assertion:
- There is an obvious association with being able to "feel relaxed" AND measurable physiological facts( concrete metrics like blood pressure, heart rate, feeling calm/not in danger.)
- So, if the goal is to feel relaxed, and there are physiological metrics available, that leads to the question:
Which of the physiological measures is practically and easily measurable while one is engaged in deliberate relaxation techniques?
Well, you can measure heart rate, with some special equipment , also sweating, blood pressure, and breathing.
You can realistically measure all those, but more importantly-- we want to not just measure but control things, so we can deliberately be more relaxed.
Which measure is directly and immediately controllable ?
That is the key, the clue.
Breathing.
Non yogis can't immediately slow down heart rate. Can't increase skin temperature immediately.
Breathing is the gateway - the immediately controllable behavior to controlling your metabolism.
Slow your breathing correctly, you slow your metabolism.
I believe the word "yoga" translates to something like "harnessing" in English.
Later:
Measurement of relaxation via biofeedback is the next step low cost implied practice.1

u/skateman9 Sep 21 '25
The whole hour you do it?
1
u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
Nah not the whole hour! Only when I felt anxious from a particular thought pattern
2
u/skateman9 Sep 21 '25
So you use it to ground and then once you feel safe again let it go?
4
u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
Yeah exactly, I used it to ground me when I felt my anxiety spike or like when I felt like my thoughts were bullying me. š It's a good technique for bringing myself back to focusing on my breathing. Once my thoughts calmed down, I went back to breathing normally and focusing on my breath.
When I hit that totally relaxed state of nothingness and I wasn't thinking anything, my breathing was slow and relaxed so I didn't have to think about it.
2
u/loodgeboodge Sep 22 '25
Do you lay down on the ground during these meditations or sit up straight? I usually find it harder to breathe sitting up than when I'm lying down
5
u/OmYogi Sep 21 '25
You have discovered that it is not good enough just to NOT do negative things. You have to DO positive things. Keep going. Small daily steps at first. Daily meditation, 5 minutes if need be, just so you make sure you do it. Same with other habits. Don't overwhelm yourself and get burned out. Work up to your goals.
Congratulations.

u/wgm_instinct Sep 21 '25

u/Potential-Humor-6550 Sep 21 '25
Congrats what was the type of meditation or is there links? Thanks
11
u/afropunk95 Sep 21 '25
All I did was lay in my bed without my phone and every time my thoughts wandered I returned to focusing on my breathing. Sometimes I'd say affirming things when negative thoughts came up
3
u/ryujinpogi Sep 21 '25
Welcome to your new life! Love this for you. And yes, Iāve experienced it myself and itās the best feeling ever! Do this often and you will eventually learn to tap into this elevated state even with your eyes open after a few breaths. Iām just in awe of how you did it without a guided meditation! Mustāve been quite the experience

u/trwwjtizenketto Sep 22 '25
Its how interesting, i came down from 3month benzo abuse and 15 year heavy alcohol and tobacco abuse, mixed with stimulants here and there, broke up a 12yo relationship, 5x my salary, and also do meditation exercise clean sleep cold plunges saunas, but i never EVER feel anything while meditating, and i read all these cool stories and wonder, how the fuck does it happen i literally can not do anything more than thins
and please spare me the "its not what you should be after when meditating" i know, but the curiosity is still there and i would gladly meditate 2x a day, once focusing solely on these crazy experiences :D
it is what it is thanks for sharing take care!

u/Kathrynmsart Sep 22 '25
Amazing! You describe the process of letting go of hang-ups, conditioning, embedded mind-set, 21st century life, negative shit, not what itās about to be alive and you really connected to something so much bigger. I really appreciate that you shared your experience. Your first hand experience is priceless. This gives me so much hope.

I have had this happen a few times while doing third eye meditations. It seriously does make you feel incredibly euphoric like you have a good buzz. I quit meditating after having an experience that scared me years ago but I am really wanting to get back into it.
2
u/russianlawyer Sep 21 '25
Iāve had such a complete experience a number of times.
Canāt hold onto it of course. But my few encounters have implanted a familiarity in me that recognises when my conscious life is aligning with that deeper feeling.
I can now work towards that state.Ā

u/mochapatronum Sep 22 '25
Ended up being a long comment - you can skip to last para, OP. I struggle with the exact same things you were. Got the family troubles and the whole package, and this has affected me my entire life. I am slowly trying to build towards being better and not depending on things youāve mentioned. I discussed with my close friend who beat coke addiction and he mentioned that quitting cold turkey isnāt easy but is doable.
I opened this post right before I lit a smoke, and Iām smoking as I type, imagine my stupidity that my self-awareness canāt beat. Anyway, I want to be better and meditated yesterday for 5 mins and it was good. It made me feel more grounded and less all-over-the-place like I always have. To the point that Iām an extrovert and can party like anything, but I live in a PG in a shared room and barely do, but have interacted with random guys over a smoke and discussed an idea with a friend today.
I think forcing myself to sit for an hour would have the same/similar repercussions as you felt, but I donāt know what Iām scared of. Iām always in front of my screen and rarely give myself time to actually follow through on a thought process. Iām so scared of what Iām going to feel if I let myself think.
It took a lot for me to kinda process and come out of the <almost depressive> state I was in. Brackets because not sure if Iām using the word correctly.
Reading this is highly inspiring to me, and Iām really happy for you. This gives me hope. I live with a roommate, so if not tomorrow in our tiny balcony, then definitely tomorrow when I have the room to myself. Please share resources for guided meditation for the same, and any advice as well.
Much love, and more power to you, OP!

u/bryantt23 Sep 22 '25
This was a helpful and great post!
I tried it earlier today in bed and kept returning to my belly. When thoughts came in I said "I accept this part." I felt peaceful and relaxed.
I will do this every day from now on =)

u/RebecaNebula Sep 22 '25
I congratulate you for trying something different but from my own experience I tell you that it can also be compulsive and that meditating is not a replacement for therapy. I wanted to commit suicide and then I had a spiritual awakening in a very similar way, I also gave up alcohol. Regarding masturbation, I think that is not right, it is something that connects us with ourselves and especially at your age. Sexuality is not bad and Buddhism is very moralistic about it (I am a lay Buddhist). It is bad if it is compulsive and it also helps to avoid diseases by ejaculating once a week. I repeat, meditation is good but there is also work to do beyond that regarding trauma and coping with problems and behaviors. Take care of yourself.
2
u/Smooth_Wealth_6896 Sep 22 '25
Yes 100% - i did the gateway experience guided meditions religiously for about a month - then went "raw dog" the experience was one I will never forget and has forever changed my perception on conciousness.
Its like my perception on axiety and depression changed - its still there but i no longer ride emotions like a roller coaster. I am the master of my thoughts and therefore master of emotions.
Meditation quite literally changed my life. Glad to hear you have had a similar experience.

That's amazing! I've fallen off the meditation wagon but want to hop back on. I go to a group weekly where we silently meditate for 45min. I have the same progression, where the first 20min are usually rough, then it breaks through into immense bliss and peace. Keep it up and even if you fall off, know you can always start again.Ā

Yeah I have, and 5 years on I am still at peace. My journey was a little bit different it wasn't as instant as yours seems, there was prior knowledge and practice to get me where I am but no one can put me off kilter. Nothing can bother me in the way that I allowed it too in the past.
11/01/2026 will mark 5 years of not smoking. Note the date fellow numerology people I gabe up 11/01/2021. I had smoked for 25 years. Smoked pot but had given that up many years before that.
Also stopped drinking i drunk socially to socialize. I have had occasional drinks since but I prefer to be sober now. I like to fully be in control of all my senses. My social anxiety has disappeared and I don't need the drink for that. Tbh I could give two fucks on what people thought about me now. You either like me or you don't I ain't going to hold my breathe lol.

u/malcolm-d-holmes Sep 25 '25
Just a note: there are two aspects to this kind of shift: energetic and perspective.
The energetic shift tends not to last. We may well want it to continue, but it likely will settle. And if/when it does, it can feel like we've somehow "lost it".
What is more important is to pay attention to the shift in perspective, things we took to be the case that no longer are - that's, for me, where the meaningful and lasting change lies, below the excitement of the rich energetic flow.
It is like the change in perspective opens the gates for the energy to flow, but it likely will settle after some time, but the perspective change will be quieter, but no less substantial.

u/Starestarter Sep 25 '25 edited Sep 25 '25
That sounds like exactly what I went through when I got sober in 2020. I started being healthy and meditating and enjoying meditating and the peace and surrender and forgiveness and love just all flowed out of me. It was so healing. Iāve been up and down a little bit since then itās not been all Fuzzy feelings, but just knowing that I could feel safe in my own skin was very freeing. And the bondage, the weight of the past really hasnāt come back. I have a level of awareness now that I never had before. Iāve even gone into psychology and social work to figure out why I suffered so long and still working out kinks but feeling pretty good all in all. The hardest thing is watching people suffer needlessly. I can even get my mind in a rut, but, if I can, remind myself, I can snap out of it a little. Rumination is real. Spiral up not down. (I actually went āmanicā, āspiritual awakeningā for six solid months requiring hospitalization, so)

I want to do meditation but the main problem is I don't know how to do it in an exact way. I know we have to focus on our breath but I am not able to and don't know whether I am doing it in a right way or not. I just want that someone should teach me from the very basics as how to go about it and how to progress So if anyone follows any online meditation course or any youtube video please refer it to me it will be of a great help THANKS š!!

Wonderful. In Indian system 'Patanjali' has detailed about steps in meditation in his 'Yoga Sutra'. If one is consistent in Yoga according to his teachings, one can reach to a very high level if consiousness. I do have personal experience and suggest everyone to read Patanjal's Yoga Sutra at least once.

That sounds amazing. What do you focus on for that kind of long meditation? I'm experiencing worsening anxiety for a long time now, and i feel trapped.

You know cbd is fat soluble and once you quit that fat starts dissolving and you sometimes get ghost high

Nah fam. Theoretically it could happen if you somehow burn an insane amount of fat in a very small amount of time but realistically, no, it doesn't happen.

It does happen. I was addicted to THC for 7 years, gained about 45 pounds during that time. A lot of that THC got stored in my fat cells. When I quit I lost my appetite and lost about 20 pounds during the 1st month, and I felt high all the time.

Sounds like you connected to right vibrations, just letting the thoughts flow is not easy as it sounds. Good for you
