I was a fully functioning drug addict for over 7 years

r/

I say was because I’ve been clean since New Years but basically I was on drugs non-stop for 7 years.

Outwardly I am a successful and in shape 40 year old professional but in reality I was addicted to opioids, benzodiazepines and Kratom.

No one knew but my wife questioned me a few times and I did make some really dumb decisions.

Just so happy to finally be clean.

    Thoughts on the kratom part ? I take it semi regularly to good effect but sometimes I wonder about purity and long term effects… almost choked to death on the stuff the other day tho 🙃

    How did you manage to get clean? Did you do detox on your own? I work in addiction recovery so that’s fascinating to think of you just doing it solo! Good work.

    Kratom + opiods, sounds like you were trying to manage pain or am I wrong and you liked the high of the dopamine? No judgement, I just ask as a functional stoner.

    edit: congrats on kicking the habits btw

    How did you hide it for so long? How much were you spending on your habits monthly? (Rhetorical: how did your wife not notice the missing money?) What was a “regular” day for you when you were using?
