Long term recreational user looking to get back on track

[BigPoppaGoonie]

Hello BlueLight!

Thanks to the admins and members of this site for providing a safezone for people like me to come and review user experience, research, and unbiased advise about such a taboo topic that almost everyone can relate to. I am an early thrities male who wants to clean up and start a life without the (what I used to call enhancers) drugs and alcohol. I am currently addicted to opiates and want to stop, but fear the detox and withdrawal I will face. I hope the support and information of this site will help me.

As a life-long introvert, I began drinking in highschool as a way to socialize and open up. Experience with substance abuse include alcohol, marijuana, shrooms, mdma, ecstasy, and opiates of various kinds. I hope to bring a lot of knowledge and experience to blue light to help others journey in safe usage and document my recovery process. Hopefully sharing my experience of withdrawal/detox will help others know what to expect and give hope. I believe this site will help my accountability and encourage me to continue this path to sobriety.

Thanks!
