I didn't give it a great deal of thought. I knew one day I would quit. I wasn't going to end like that.

@SW-User What were you addicted to?

@SW-User How long were you doing those? So you just decided one day to stop? Did you have slip-ups?

@Menetics I was a drinker for about 12 years. I made two serious attempts to quit. The first time I was sober for 7 months and then I quit for good a few months after.

The synethic weed was for about 4 and a half years and it took many attempts to quit.

I used cocaine on and off for about 6 years. I eventually quit for good when I overdosed and ended up in hospital
