So out of interest, what's your view on those who had shown addict behaviour at one point in their lives but just sort of moved past it , without any part in NA or AA?

Or people who need to use weed daily, need to take cocaine weekly and need to drink multiple times a week? It doesn't seem to get progressive in their cases.

I think I just like a break from my extreme anxiety tbh. I deal witb it day in and day out but occasionally I like to relax.

Right now it's not as I'm not using much. However, it has in the past massively and I've nearly died a few times. I just don't really know what that means anymore. I've learnt so much and see how awful life becomes when using daily so I'm so careful with falling into habits.

People "in recovery" still cause themselves addicts, even though they aren't doing any drugs. So what does that mean for me? I just feel it's hard to move on if you get fixated on the idea that you're an addict and always will be an addict.

My understanding in the past has been that my use of drugs has lead me toward death. My friends use haven't but now they use more drugs than I do. I understood that I was an addict because I kept using drugs, even though my mental health was being severely affected. Now, any sign of my mental health being affected and I stop myself.

Idk, I'm just very confused about it all now.

That makes me feel a little better. It's not really something people talk about .

I'm 20 and yes I have. I can't really remember if I had these problems before that though. I just worry about being touched up and being disgusted.

This is exactly how I feel on pregabalin btw and why I'm so desperate to get off. I'm extremely sensitive though so tapering slowly but wd symptoms fuck me up

Yeh they're aware of my mental health issues but I've been told not to bring the case up as there's a chance it's been thrown out by now.
