Nicotine, but stopped >20 years ago
Anorexia/bulimia even longer ago
Alcohol more recently, that’s the main one
I’ve used other stuff but not as an obsession
And some dependency on prescription drugs, currently pregabalin and venlafaxine, gave up trazodone last year.
I was on benzos and barbiturates as a kid. Spent some of my school days stoned.

Booze is my main problem.
Freebasing cocaine.
Xanax habit.
121 days off the booze and blow.
Valentine’s Day for the benzos.
Still smoking like a chimney and pretty much bleeding coffee, but I’ll cross that bridge at some point.

Alcohol… even just drinking once a week, but heavily. 8 days without now :slight_smile:

Nicotine… I’ll wait until completing some time without drinking to tackle this. Atm I only vape/ juul for more than an year.

Recovered codependent after being in many chaotic relationships with narcissistic guys. Years in therapy to reach this point where I put my needs first, look after myself and feel happy for who I am. Self-love is transformational.

Tried everything else but crack in my 20’s. Was a pot head for a real long time. Quit the drugs in 87 to start a family. But the Booze kept me.
