Struggling With Substance Abuse

I have bad news, I recently relapsed on drugs and I discuss what the situation with that is like.

Thanks man. I have similar issues. I appreciate you putting yourself out there.

❣️ I know you said these COVID times have been surprisingly good to you considering, and maybe it has nothing to do with that. But the past year and a half have been super taxing on us all as well, even the luckiest of us. (Ok maybe not Jeff Bezos.) I’m sure it’s not just that, but take it easy on yourself. You really seem quite self aware most of the time. And I get that fear -being afraid to stop and afraid to not stop? Maybe I’m being presumptuous and projecting how I’ve felt sometimes heh. Frankly you can’t be strong all the time, but you’ve been clean for a REAL long time, and I have no doubt you can do that and more again when you have the supports. Take care of yourself. It sounds as though you still are in certain ways. 💕

Would you say you are using drugs as a coping mechanism because of the personal issues. If so why? It sounds like you have been in therapy for quite a few years and I would've hoped that you got good coping skills from that but sometimes the therapist's 'coping skills' are worksheets/coloring books and/or bubble baths, etc . It's great you recognize it's a problem and seeking appropriate care. I am saddened to hear this latest development. I wish you well friend.
