[@dr.christopherdiaz4473]

I was addicted to something once... Ray is COMPLETELY right. You have to decide your addiction is over and that you don't want to do it anymore. Then you have to fight for it. The week that I quit using was one of the worst in my life. The most violent flu like symptoms with constant pain and nausea. The devil on my shoulder kept telling me to call my dealer, but my mind was so made up that I fought through it. Ironically, I thought of the movie Ray and the scenes where he went through a natural detox to get clean. That was a pretty good representation of what it feels like to get clean.

[@GlennDavey]

Sometimes it's just triggers being removed. At the start of lockdown I'm like "oh and I can't just go outside for a smoke with coworkers... okay... so I won't then..." That's it, now I don't smoke anymore. After 19 years
