I'm sure someone has said this before here, but I'd like to say it because of how important I think it is and how it has helped me. I want to be clear about this though: I have never been addicted to a drug before, but I have had a dependency on mushrooms before, and somewhat of a drug problem in the past where I'd just do anything I could get. Generally just ecstasy and mushrooms though, quite an interesting choice for someone going through bad shit I guess being a psychedelic but it allowed me to escape reality. I have nothing bad to say about either substance and the more "addictive" ones I've tried like DXM and some opiates just weren't enjoyable. Anyway, I started doing those two drugs in particular for fun, but after some not so good things happening in my life involving a particular girl I started doing them to dull the pain. I had moderate HPPD for a while so I stopped but I realized one thing about addiction and the root of addiction and that is how important purpose is. If you are struggling with anything, and since this is Bluelight I know drugs are probably involved, if you find a passion you will definitely overcome your problem. For me, my passion is powerlifting. I love going to the gym to lift and I set goals for myself. Because I'm thinking about it so often and because I've made such good progress in the last couple years and enjoy it so much I don't think about those things that trouble me much anymore, which has given me control over my life. Lifting is also extremely demanding physically and mentally which is good for you, but your passion could be anything. Find whatever it is and you will recover. Good luck guys.
