@RR451 Welcome to Talking Sober.

I was the same way, I thought I had a drug problem, but really the solution to my problem was that I needed to change.

I’m still a work in progress, trying to be less selfish, less fearful, less angry.

But the clean way of life is much easier than the addict way of life. I don’t have to come up with $ today to use, and I’m not dope sick. I’m not waiting for my dealer and I’m not begging people I know for money. I’m not walking around town stealing metal for scrap money, I’m sitting here drinking my coffee and protein shake getting ready to bed-down for an hour, then I’ll have some coffee and start doing other stuff and I am overflowing with gratitude and light and love because I have been delivered.

Also, we are not alone.

Thanks for sharing

Congratulations to you on 3 years and @JVKE for sharing the new way of life. I agree, living life without any mood or mond altering substance whether it be drink or drugs is a better way of life. Quality of life is what makes it better. Life still shows up but this too shall pass and it always does and guess what? We never have to get loaded over what ever it is. Imagine that. 14 years ago I would have never believed that. All we have to do is keep coming back and just done drink or use and we will continue to stay clean and sober. Take care guys
