Hey welcome to the forum.
Yeah stereotypes are crap… they gave me LOTS of excuses as to why I was not “bad enough” to have a problem. Slowly but surely I ended up at those places though as my addiction progressed. Then of course there were always people worse off than me…I also bartered with my addiction. Oh maybe I will just do that drug that way and I will be ok. Or this was my favorite… " I will do NO drugs and just drink!!!"
I am glad you found us, there’s a ton of great stuff to read here and lots of support.
I hope you stick around.
