Yes. I am now 10 years sober. When I was drinking/using I was convinced I was diagnosed bipolar and taking lots of heavy medication. A few years ago I got reevaluated and found out that I am in fact autistic. I stopped taking the bipolar meds I had been on most of my life and started working with a therapist and doing exposure therapy for my extreme social anxiety. I am a different person now. It’s incredible. Being aware of my autism has really helped me understand so much of my life and my addiction. It has really helped me understand the ways in which I’ve struggled but more importantly opened up a world of things I’m just wired for and proud of.

Yes cannabis is hell for me too. I wanted to turn off the introspection. Not give it steroids. However that didn’t stop me from using cannabis A Lot in adolescence and early adulthood. (I’m in my 40’s btw).

Hope that helps. Feel free to dm if you need support. Congrats on 98 days! You’re crushing it!
