[@carlosbent5046]

Well done my ,g, 🙏

[@OrangeDiamond33]

I’ve been sober for about 2 years. Don’t know how many days that is and I don’t care. For me keeping track of the days was a reminder of exactly how long ago I was a fuck up. I believe at a certain point you should just put it behind you and forget about it instead of constantly reminding yourself of your mistakes and white knuckling your way through life.

Words to live by

[@nightmare50g]

Can somebody explain to me what this mean l feel l need to know 🤷🤷🤷

[@shanepowers4887]

Nightmare50g he’s basically saying that every time he got drunk and high was because he was “promised” a better life from the drugs, that he would be happier. But in reality sobriety has given him all those things he was looking for when he was getting high. Now he is happy without drugs and alcohol.

[@meltingpotmeme6181]

Negative, if drugs were legal not only would prices be a tiny fraction of what they currently cost. But the ill affects from them would be lessened to such a degree that they would be as easy as antidepressants to get off of and as impacting as a cup of coffee. This is both subjective and factual. Some stances ive never let up on over the years. This is one of them. Good day.

​@@OfficialLoudSoundzHey there! It's the hardest thing overcoming stuff like heartbreaks and disappointments especially when you're an addict but believe that it's always darkest before the light. Seek help if you have to, talk to someone and most importantly take it in stride. Always remember that people are out here going through worse stuff than you. You gotta seize your destiny by putting your recovery first. Godspeed!

It really made an impact and months later, I left the clinic and quit cold turkey at 52 milligrams. It was the hardest month and a half of my life. I didn’t sleep or hardly eat for that month and a half but…. Now I’m off it and have been for over 3 years. It’s the best thing I ever did. Even though I saw plenty of people going through the same thing, I still felt alone. When I watched this video, for whatever reason, I didn’t feel as alone anymore.

@@francineemma2051 takes roughly a week tops. If you're only on heroin. But you can start feeling a lot better after about 3 or 4 days... Better if you can do it cold Turkey. As using other drugs to lessen the withdrawals will only stretch out the detoxing process. I inow 3-4 days can seem like forever when you're actually going through it. But hang in there.. Maybe s sleeping pill at night after the 4th day. But I wouldn't try it much sooner. I've done a medicated detox and a non medicated detox.. The medicated was rapid reduction using Subutex. They gave it yo me 3 times a day for 3 days. She only took it twice a day and 3rd day once. The remainder of the 4 days was them monitoring me. Thst was s pretty easy detox. Although some left after the 3rd day. To go shoot up the subutex, that they were diverting. They must have been doing it tough. To go yo detox yo get drugs...lol. But they were there for the wrong reasons. Good luck to you..

I doubt Brandon will see this but I got arrested last year and left fulton county jail, homeless on christmas eve of 2020. I slept outside in a parking garage before I was picked up by two Georgia tech police officers. I was freezing to death. I had a Shirt pulled over my knees. I wound up back on methadone for 10 days before entering treatment and during that time I watched this video. the similarities were uncanny! We had almost the exact same story of addiction right down to sleeping outside on Christmas eve! I was in tears watching this and entered rehab. I have now been out of rehab for a while and am still active in recovery. I have even taken a couple guys through the 12 steps. I start Monday as a halfway house manager.
