*nsfw* Drung addiction

Hey I am not sure if this topic is allowed.

But I am currently 3 years clean after a 4 year addiction to M.

I managed to focus on my family and be a person they could love to get clean, even had another baby which has kept me strong.

Have any of you struggled with addiction? What pulled you through?

Hi Joedee Thompsons,

Thank you for sharing your journey, and congratulations on 3 years of being clean—that’s an incredible achievement. 

Focusing on your family and finding purpose in your loved ones is truly inspiring and can resonate with many.

I had some addiction to drugs, not going back, ever since i got psycosis I will to a 99.9 % not to take any drugs, but still the chance is slim but still there, after being off it for about 2 years, I feel better and stronger than ever, some positive aspects is that it can help you in mostly short term, some things are not classed as a drug, herbs and so on could be benificial in the long term, But most drugs are a no no for me. So I hope you stay sober and wish you all luck out there that has an addiction, it can surpase , so keep your mind settled to focus on life , instaid of substance.

Hi guys,

It’s great to hear how committed you are to staying on a positive path after all you’ve been through. This is so motivational for those who are also struggling. Thank you the support and encouragement.

Thank you. It was amazing to feel like I was finally at a stage where I didn't want anything but to stay home, be clear headed and enjoy every moment. 

My Husband stuck with me through it all, 12 years together and he was so wonderful being a full time Dad while I figured myself out.

I appreciate your kind words :)

It's interesting how it has become easier to be positive in everyday life when all the negative that came with using was so bad. I had my car stolen and was used a lot because I wanted to be liked.

But I do hope those who still suffer can learn they are worth more than they think. Even when we feel all is lost, there is always hope.

Every change helps, even if it's small. It was a year of cutting back before I was ready to fully give up but sticking to it, even on my worst days really helped.

Thank you so much for being so kind xo it's something I can truly be proud of.

You are so amazing for getting clean. Some times it unfortunately does take getting to our lowest points before we are able to make the changes. 

Be very proud of yourself mate, it's hard and you are strong 💪 😉 

I honestly feel the same way you do, I could never see myself using again. I have even stopped drinking and the urge to do so has gone too.

But yeah, I'm in a country where my is legal medically which is the only thing I'm on now so 100% agree there :)

I wish you the best! You have the best mindset and I have complete faith in you :)

Awww ,thank you, I wish all your family to be well, and that you do your best , that's all you need to do ;)

I hope you stay sober as it's always better in the longrun, and cheaper :D

When did you start and how did you get addicted?

Was it hard to quit the bad habbit in your part?

Did you seek help?

I give you hugs for getting well, and I hope you do well!
