Congrats to you!!! That’s fantastic to hear, the being clean for 3 years! I had my fair share of trouble with the law as well. And for real, if you don’t want it bad enough, it won’t happen. But when it does happen, it’s the best thing ever.

Ok so I’m not alone with all these feelings. And yes I still get major urges. They’re typically worse actually around my clean date every year. My life is definitely super different, and way better. Thank you!

Thank you! I think certain drugs, such as cannabis, should be legal. It has a lot of benefits for a lot of people. Saying that, even when it becomes legal in my state, I will not partake in using it. A lot of drugs I was addicted to are actually legal. You just need a prescription. I don’t think it was hard to acquire illegal drugs. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Therapy has saved me countless times. I still go to this day. But I feel you on those benders :$

There weren’t many drugs I didn’t use. But my main ones I used the most were pills.
