Is it normal to lose interest in sex after addiction

I used opioids for 5 years, starting when I was 18, before getting rehab for 2 months. I’ve been clean for a year and living in hell because of it.
I’ve never relapsed but consider it every morning, I think about getting high all day long and I hate my life. I think about it sexually, romantically, there’s nothing more I want in this world then to get back on H.
I used to fuck while being high a lot and now I find sober sex god awful. I can hardly get started and never finish, I don’t even watch porn or get off anymore cause it seems so fucking lame.
You know shit is bad when tits and cunt bore you to death.
I just need to know if this feeling, or lack there of, will ever go away or if I’m just going to have to put a bullet in my head at some point.

    I can't say one shortage other, but I will try and help you see what that life will lead to. I've never done H but I have been in jail a few times. Why is this relevant you ask. While there, I was able to still read a book, (2 months after I got out my vision started going.) Anyway this book was the author words about the life he lead in New Jersey and going to LA to escape his legal troybles. Only to find they just followed him and pretty much got worse if I remember right. It's called "Leaving Dirty Jersey: A crystal meth memoir" by James Salant. I read it in jail. I have done meth in past years and yes at times I miss the "high" the rush. But they book he tells what kind of shit he goes thru. That might help you see another side of the life in so deep. Best ifluck. Find hobbies, make new friends, you need an entire new surroundings to get away from the triggers that remind you of what and where you did it. Again best of luck. Oh, in a town close to where I live there was just recently 37 I think deaths from H tainted with propofol in about 2 weeks. I assume your family has given up on trying to help you stay clean ?

    I've heard that quiting drug is a daily struggle. I can only tell you to hold on. You've already doing great.

    About finding sex boring I don't have any advice. Maybe it will just come back like it used to and maybe not. Have you talked about it with a doctor or another professional?

    I can relate. It's similar for me and I am curious if anhedonia will just be the way life is.

    I haven't had sex since I stopped drinking and have zero desire to.

    Don't kill yourself tho. Your brain will start to recover and start producing the necessary neurochemicals again.
