hii. I've gone through substance abuse in the past too, and while I haven't had legal trouble, at some point I flew way too close to the sun. just wanted to say that things do get better after a while, but it is important for you to keep busy in one way or another.
maybe not the best advice, but gradually shifting my addictions to something less harmful over time did help and now I'm "recovered", per say (ej. Benzo→ Cigarette→ Nicotine gum→ Nothing)
Wishing u the best
this is so thoughtful anon 🥺🥺 i never thought ranting on tumblr dot com would give me genuine advice 🫂
in terms of the substance abuse my nic addiction isn't even that bad, but i am currently switching from cigarettes to vape pens. i've purchased my first pack of nicotine pouches but i HATED the after taste. i didn't think nicotine gum was an option omggg thank you so much anon
i've been struggling more on alcohol, if i'm not sitting at home writing fics i'm probably outside getting wasted at night doing some real stupid stuff. it's pretty common for me to get drunk 3 nights a row on average. this month's worst has been 5 nights a row.
recovery is gonna be so hard for me because i struggle the most with impulse control 🥳🥳 (it's literally my disorder: impulsive type ADHD). but i HAVE been keeping busy, so thank you for the validating advice. my family has got me to join an art community as a form of group recovery. i'm currently taking local digital art commissions #job
thank you so much for the concern, i feel less stupid for my dumb decisions leading me to my current predicament ❤️🩹❤️🩹
