This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

that's the problem with addiction though isn't it? if I had a nickel for every time I heard "well if you really wanted to".. then I could probably afford my addiction.
but all things aside. I've gone to treatment. been there done that. I just don't believe in the 12 steps made up by some religious nutjob. might as wel start going to church.
gotta start believing in yourself and that's the real hurdle
There's no magic outside force that is going to cure you. There is no cure, only recognizing the problem. The only thing that can change your life is you. You have to dig down deep in yourself, and really, really want to change, and find out what is making you so miserable you have to be high to be happy.
I know it sounds trite, and like some flyer from some AA meeting, but it's the truth. You have to dig deep, and find out what is driving the need. Best of luck, my friend. I'm in the same boat, and I've failed. But I'm closer in my wisdom, more aware of the triggers and trauma. Don't give up, and don't give in, even if you relapse. It's not a competition, where you win or lose. It's a journey.
