I've been drying out/changing circumstances of my life for the past month now, with three weeks of next to no use of pharmaceuticals and two straight weeks with absolutely no damaging events stemming from drug usage in a row.
No one talks abput it here. Maybe I'm the only one, but that'd be hard to believe.
Anyways, maybe this thread lives, our dies. If it does I'll just turn it into a journal thread.
I've had to isolate myself a bit after absolutely losing my fucking shit on about everyone I know, and in attempts to balance out seeing as I've been high a lot of the time for a couple years. I've looked at a lot of stuff from self improvement, to documentaries on happiness, to docs on prison inmates who have bettered themselves through incarceration, gotten out and lived Normal productive lives.
There's a lot of interesting stuff out there. Something that kinda scares me is that there aren't many success stories about people conquering the world after drug issues. My dad calmed the fuck down and lives a slower life since he kicked alcohol and most people I've come across seem like wounded birds.
There are a few though that didn't suffocate their flame in precautionary measure and done great things.. Russel brand surprisingly has come as a big inspiration. Oprah also used crack in the past, but I think it was more a hobby than a problem.
