Literally I used to make those people that snort coke on the daily look like children playing with legos. For a decade I was addicted to downers, for 3 years, I added the strongest uppers into the equation.
About a year into sobriety but this time is different than the stints of sobriety I’ve had in the past. I had 5 years at one point followed by a relapse, then I had about 10 months followed by a relapse, then here I am now just over a year clean…. What’s the difference this time from the other times? This time I literally have zero urges to use even when I’m going thru the most.
So people who are addicted or love an addict, ask away.

An incredible accomplishment. 👏🏼 All of it tbh.
Have you been able to find a supportive loving village/support system to celebrate/support you on your sobriety journey?
I’m currently heavily addicted to cocaine and can’t imagine getting to the point where I don’t have urges, so well done! Which drug did you find hardest to quit?
I have never been addicted to hard substances so I guess I wouldn’t know but: what have you chosen (it’s a choice after all) as the meaning of your life?
It doesn’t have to be dramatic (like “to help people feel full again” or smtg) bit maybe something super interesting that you’d like to do!
Sounds like you still have a long way to go on your journey…. Fucking pathetic thinking your addictions were ‘so much worse than other peoples’…

Lame.
Not a question but I just wanted to say that you are doing absolutely amazing! You should be extremely proud of yourself!
Damn, I’m a month clean from weed and codeine and I thought that was destroying my life. As someone who’s been through it all, what advice would you give to another addict trying to overcome cravings? I find myself thinking “this shit would all go away if I could dose up again” multiple times per day.
