For seven-plus years, I was addicted to opioids and amphetamines. And then, sort of like OP, one day I just had enough of all that — and I stopped.[1] That was two-and-a-half years ago, and my life has been enormously better since. I spent all day today skiing. I have no idea what I did three years ago today, but I doubt it was much more than a lot of heroin and methamphetamine. Four years ago today, same thing. Five years ago today, same thing. It doesn’t feel real, but it happened. Just wanted to chime in with another voice saying that if you want to turn your life around, it’s possible. [1] I take physician-prescribed buprenorphine every day, and I expect that to continue for the rest of my life.
