Where my drug addicts at?...

This is a topic where that:

• drugs shall not be glorified
• give your story and how/why you became/want to become sober (what motivated you?)
• we encourage others
• talk about why substances can not controll us
• share coping skills
• ect.

MY TWO CENTS:

I never really considered myself to be a drug addict, denial was a huge hurtle that I had to face. I still can't say I have even conquered denial yet. The mind is a absolutely crazy thing, truly our actions are puppets of our true selves. I feel like I buried my true self alive years ago. I still feel as if a last hurrah is in my future, and even though I know how that will end..its literally crazy I still think I am in control.

> Addiction is slavery

As of today, I'm 7 days off the beast they call heroin. This drug truly taught me what it was to be a slave to yourself, if that makes sense. The things I have put myself/other through to make myself "HAPPY" with heroin were shallow/selfish/unforgivable/ and disgusting. After 7 days, I can say most of the withdrawls are over..I have not slept in a whole week though..that really sucks. Opiates are not a joke.

I'm going to cut this short, maybe I'll expand on my thoughts later. Thanks folk..peace luv
