[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686242, member: 20267"] For a very long time after getting clean, literally EVERYTHING was a chore. And there was nothing I enjoyed. I forgot how to enjoy things without drugs. I had trouble doing the most basic, menial of tasks. I had to literally force myself to shower, to get out of bed, to eat, etc. Nothing made me particularly happy or content. I had absolutely no motivation to speak of. It takes time to get back to normal. Takes time to relearn our entire lives. I would suggest patience, and the understanding that he will get better, assuming he remains clean. The things you have to push so hard for him right now will eventually become normal for him. He will slowly learn to appreciate things again. And the sense of real accomplishment. [/QUOTE]
