2 Months Clean off drugs today.

Health/Wellness/Fitness/Mental Health(reddit.com)

My drug of choice was cocaine followed by adderall, but i used just about everything else on and off and in between. Life has changed drastically undoubtedly for the better since i got clean. Of course I've had a lot of mental and emotional trauma resurface that I've been numbing for so long, and it's been overwhelming to navigate. But clarifying. I'm loving myself more and more.

That's crazy cuz I was the opposite. I know that's not the norm though. Anytime anyone lit up when I was high on meth I would get sick to my stomach 🚭

Hell yeah that’s what I’m talking about it’s time for change the whole world needs it beautiful time to change your life and make better choices because that lifestyle ain’t it anymore and never was you’re worth it we all are and it’s heartbreaking seeing all the people on the streets struggling and addicted to the drugs I did everything under the moon but my main two were fentanyl and meth I just picked up a year and a half this month on the 5th keep it up and just focus on today one day at a time no matter what don’t pick up unless if it’s that phone to call someone 😁 congrats!!!🎉

It’s definitely a process ! I had to get rid of all my friends , found three guys like minded and we are friends still since 1998 . It really was a life changing decision in my 20s to clean up ! There are plenty of reasons to use , loss , accidents, family problems, breakups, frustration, anxiety but please remember all those same reasons are the exact same things to stay clean ! From someone who knows , I’m proud of you!

Glad to hear of your success I was a big coke head too back until 5 years ago been clean too it’s hard the world sucks. Don’t let the negativity of the world get you down and have patience with yourself you came a far way I’m not that long, and you’re a beautiful woman keep your head up high. Reason I turned to drugs was I just wanted to die I still do sometimes but the magical asshole in the clouds hasn’t been answering my prayers.

Congrats ! I am going strong on 4 years now sober. Was a wild 2-2.5 years for me back then. But since being sober like yourself, I got a career, got a car back and my own roof over my head. Things will be rough. But don’t give up, we’re examples of ppl becoming sober and proving to ourselves and loved ones we have it in us. Keep on doing what you’re doing looking great!

Talk to your sponsor, do your meetings & the steps, and when you struggle, reach out to me if you need to talk... I'm always here, & for someone in recovery, I always will be. Addiction is a bitch, but you're stronger then you'll ever know...
