100% this one. I was a drug addict for 11 years on heroin and crack. I was born a drug addict too. Im 57 now and decades clean of that life. But this one rings a bell for me personally. [media=https://youtu.be/W4DfuNi9k5s?si=dpSCHXBiO0FyAZrJ]

@kodiac Nice 🙂 SOOO glad to hear this from a guy your age. You escaped it. Great news. I still see guys and women i once knew still hooked on street drugs. I suppose im still a addict in a way as im now a system addict. But i wasnt going to dedicate that song to addiction 😆😆 Really really proud of you. Never be tempted. Remember we are no better or worse than the people we once knew in that life but we must carry a element of selfishness to carry on with our personal journeys.

@kodiac I know. I watched Painkiller on Netflix a while back and on how opiodes were pushed. F.cking CRAZY. Ive got quite a few dead friends bless their souls. Youve made it through. Me too. Thats something you truly should be proud of. Addiction can happen to anyone and theres many many forms as im sure you already know.

@Perry1968 I'm still an addict to when things get dark i long for those minutes or hours when the drugs took everything away. Just a moments peace . But i can't let what the kid in me did to survive just be for nothing . I'm proud of you to . Getting clean is so hard , days of shaking , sweating ,puking ,begging. My body screaming just onej more time .

@kodiac Look if you ever want a private chat dude inbox me ok. Im no councillor but ive got vast knowledge on this topic. All i will say with ANY addiction is that YOU MUST want to give up. I promise you something right. Growing a strong resentment. Even hatred for something that is drowning you eventually sets you free. For me personally it took 3 years and a 1000 detox atrempts before one day after many many tries and a continuing growing resentment it hapoened. I got p.ssed off shivering. Crying. Scoring and the repeated thought process. But that growing resentment has to continue until eventually in very real reality we do or die. You do my friend. Dont die. Fight and continue to fight. If it takes 500 relapses so be it. In the end you.ll beat this i promise you. But only if you truly want it. Thats the harsh but doable reality of addition. Big hugs to you. Keep fighting. Dont be yet another statistic. Lifes not all roses after addiction but it beats that humdrum emptiness.
