Most people are fooled, nobody and I mean nobody knew I was taking pills. For one, I never took more than 1 or 2 in a day, so I never showed it in my body language, I never “nodded out”. Two, opiates had a much different effect on me, they gave me energy and motivation to do things, they didnt make me drowzy or lethargic like they do to most people, also due to the fact I was never taking a lot .
When i tried going a day without one though, I knew I had a problem. I often tell myself I was opiat dependant, not addicted. That may be true, but I’m still living certain principles of NA and SMART because I have other mental health issues due to how I was raised, and living those principles help a ton honestly
Working smart and NA is a smart (pun intended ) choice with your living situation especially seen as you live in the same house as your old crack dealer.
Yeah it doesn’t show all that much but addicts and alcoholics often have the canny ability to spot others. Opiates have that effect with me depending on the dose and route of administration🙂
Appreciate you follow my story and know my current living situation, that shows people here actually care, where nobody in my life seems to at all. That is why I continue to use this app and stay around NA/positive people because I’ve been surrounded by so much negativity my whole life it’s truly traumatizing
I remember chatting with your when you first joined m8 so it’s really nice to see how well you are doing now. We can chalk up another win against addiction
Merry Christmas, my fellow sober warriors. Here is me on Christmas Day:
2017 - drinking and crying all day
2018 - sober 2.5 months
2019 - sober 14.5 months
Over 6 months in between. Physically and mentally in a million miles apart. I’m so grateful for recovery and all over the wonderful people I’ve met on this journey. I wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year! Happy Christmas
