what? im speaking up about how hard it is to quit using.. im actually drinking tonight but im not encouraging heroin. actually there are some really good Canadian heroin use support programs. it just the people unable to regain control in the depths of an addiction that dont seem to understand health and wellbeing that i am concerned about.

actually you could be correct, but i know a lot of people who dont have any motivation, respect for society, or the responsibility to hold a job, and the indicator with all of them is severe addiction, plus a background and environment that enables abuse. the difference being they might all have a mental disorder too, or some variation that doesnt apply to you, like you are saying, maybe a person without a diagnosable illness, such as yourself, doesnt experience that. i could be wrong.

who here has not been under the influence for a reasonable amount of time? i just want to talk about why that can be difficult and requires determination. there's a few points people pass while getting sober; the initial withdrawals, the recovery, becoming abstinent, and remaining abstinent. the hardest part imo is the recovery: if you can make 35-40 days and not give into to a craving, you're almost home free. the next hardest part is remaining abstinent. an addict sometimes has trouble remembering all the reasons to stay sober. so a relapse late in the process becomes likely. on the other hand, becoming abstinent after a tough recovery can be very self-satisfying and personally challenging. when you re-examine priority and important life circumstances with a sober mind and a new will to succeed, its very motivating and inspiring. i want to be abstinent without ever being challenged, but thats impossible, so all in moderation, amirite?
