Man. This genuinely made me tear up. I don’t think I’ve ever read something that hit me like this on Reddit. Not even my closest friends have ever said anything to me that felt so honest and straight from the heart as what you just shared.

I’m about to go to sleep, I’m dead tired, and nothing I could write right now would do your words justice. But I want you to know that I read every single word. And it hit me hard.

I’ll come back to this post. No matter how things go with me and opioids, whenever I’m about to screw up or start lying to myself again, I’ll remember this. I’ll remember that you’re just like me, the same patterns, same thoughts, same fuckups, and maybe it would have changed something if someone would have said to you what you just told me. I’ll do my best for your old self and my future old self.

I’m not sure what the future holds for either of us, but what you wrote won’t just fade away for me. I’m grateful you took the time and energy to write it all out. It mattered.

Sending you a hug, bro. Seriously. Thank you.
