If you have recovered from drug addiction... how do you stick to it? Is it easy now? hard? Easy but still get the itch?
It's been 7 years since I gave up and stuck to it for an addiction of one drug. Whilst still doing others I wasn't addicted to. Then I stopped all but one and allowed a dependance and addictive use of it for over 12 years. I woke up one day and threw it all in the bin and just gave up. It was one of the hardest things I have done, but best decision I have ever made. It's been just over two years since I kicked the latter.
Now it is easy. But now and again I still get this itch, I consider going to get some, just a little bit. But never let myself. I do something instead like eat a donut or smoke a ciggarette lol.
Does anyone else find, the harder thing after a a while drug free, is changing the thought patterns that make you want it? You train your brain to associate the drug with so many situtations that it becomes ingrained habbit you need to try and re-train your brain. It's hard.
