Sleeping with men for money. Those were some sick times for me. (Thank you, Opiates! You beautiful, life wrecking bastards) I?m only 24 (13 years an addict, about a year clean with some slip-ups), so I was only 20 when I did that.
I guess I never really thought I?d get that low, but once you?re in that deep it just doesn?t seem like an option to get out.
I?ve done all of the other ?normal? addict behavior: Stealing (I once stole $400 from my aunt when I was 15, I still feel awful for that), lying, fighting, doing anything to get off.
Now I look back on all of it and it?s just disgusting. I?ve been on Suboxone for a year now (don?t really consider that being ?clean?), but it has changed my life. I?ve been working as a caregiver and the thought to sneak a pill literally never even crosses my mind. So that alone is HUGE. I moved out of my hometown and landed 1,526 miles away, which was one of the biggest helps. I have my own place, blah blah blah. It feels good. I always tell addicts that the best damn thing to do is get the HELL outta your hometown!
Thanks for being here. ✌?
