RE: Why addiction is so hard to beat?

in #life5 years ago

Thank you for writing this and for reminding me of the danger to feel safe and "cured".
I am clean for 3 years, 2 months and 24 days and I am always searching for "things which are good for me" because I feel the quiet but existing graving every day.
To turn those feelings into positive things is a good way. Thanks for bringing this topic back in my head. I have learned to never feel too safe & now I can say the last weeks have been too much sliding in the surface somehow.

I hope you will stay free and safe brother.

Peace!

Sure thing, man! I know it's rough, and to be honest, I have it much easier than a staggering number of folks out there. Alcoholism is but a band-aid for those underlying traumas, so while I'm staying away from it, I'm inching slowly closer to getting those resolved.

I'm glad you're clean. Stick with it, man. No hands can lift or leave that bottle but yours. <3
