To be completely honest, I'm not too sure. I'm glad I made it out alive though.
Clean from opiates for around 12years.
Sober for 6.
I have cirrhosis from drinking all day every day for over a decade, but my liver is working, and I'm alive. I also currently work in recovery and try to help others.
I was a really anxious and depressed kid. Drinking temporarily solved those problems. Then while piss drunk at parties or clubs or hanging out with people, I get hit with “hey wanna try this?” or “Do you smoke?”. Try it, like it, buy some, oops.
Thankfully I never got into the super life ruining stuff, but I definitely wasted the first half of my twenties being constantly drunk and high and I’ve got lots of nerve damage from doing stupid stuff.
Now I’m mostly sober. I still drink, but I have rules I haven’t broken in 5 years and I think I’ve gotten it under control.

Unnamed undiagnosed raging adhd. Apparently I was “self medicating”.
Got the prescription stuff sorted out and stopped all of the non-prescription stuff. Alcohol included.

I moved to LA but no one would talk to me until I got a trendy coke habit.
The nice people in rehab are very friendly though.
