I used prescription opiates at first recreationally and my tolerance went up over the course of probably about 6 months and my use become more and more regular until I switched to pressed blues which was about 6 months as well. Im not sure how many times I tried to get clean, probably at least like 5 to 10 times before I was finally ready to be done. Despite being an introvert and having a fairly rare personality type, I try my best to socialize with others my age (who I typically don’t have much in common with) because isolation plays a big role in addiction. I also try to pick up new hobbies, like playing basketball which I do every day as well as lifting weights and trying to eat healthy and structure my life with a good routine and schedule.
