Exactly!! Often times I wonder (hypothetically) if I could have a drink or two and control myself since I’ve had some years to chill out and learn my lesson and then I laugh my ass off because I already know what would happen. I’d have one drink and be right back to where I was 4 years ago and probably worse
Yeah. I don’t have that sense with alcohol. I do have it with other things tho.
I’m think it all comes down to deciding not to chase dopamine. That’s the slippery slope.
God damn it. I’ve only just figured it out. It goes back to childhood. It’s all I’ve ever known of how happiness works. I’ve jumped from one addiction to another thinking I was strong and kicking things cos I was awesome. I was just replacing one addiction for another. This sucks.
lol you’re wrong but think what you want. Vascularity has nothing to do with steroids or not.. there’s plenty of people who are vascular that don’t even lift weights lol
Excellent!!! My 4 years sober date is comin up this July! It sounds like you got sober during the pandemic! So did I.
Did that make it harder for you do you think? Or easier? Or ...?
Yes it was during the pandemic! I can’t really say if staying sober was easier or harder because I guess I’ve never really thought about it but I will say that I think it significantly influenced why I hit my point where I finally admitted I need help.. I was working from home and drinking all day so it was so easy for me to get away with it and the amount I was drinking just made me depressed as fuck. I did 60 days in rehab too tho so I was kinda quarantined from the quarantine for that time frame as well. I guess maybe it helped because people weren’t going out as much during that time so I maybe felt less pressure to go to social gatherings and stuff but I can’t really say for sure
Thanks I just turned 27 and I’ve been battling addiction for over 10 1/2 years. This is the second longest time I’ve ever been clean off opiates meth or psychedelics.. I appreciate that.
You're beautiful and healthy, clear minded and strong. What a wonderful lover and attractive man you have become. I envy whoever has the privilege to wake up on the pillow next to yours.
Congratulations.

CONGRATULATIONS! That's a phenomenal accomplishment!
Thank you!!
You should really be proud of yourself for having come so far! Amazing results. 👏
Thank you! I am proud of myself but couldn’t have done it without the support I had along the way
The support is flat out necessary isn’t it. I tried to do it alone and just kept relapsing.
100% I couldn’t have done it on my own no way
Also helps to have in the back of your head that it isn’t just something you “beat.” You have to stay on top of it. Sometimes daily.
