Never thought it’d happen to me. It did. Been Clean a bit over a year. I got a couple crazy stories for sure. AMA

Edit: this is pretty personal, the answers kinda long, and I can’t touch on everything, but I’ll try my best. Thanks for reading.

    Understandably it is impossible to know, but if you had exposure to the drugs (e.g. trying because your friend compelled you to) without all of the other family/life baggage that made up the perfect storm you describe, do you think you would have fallen into the same addiction cycle?

      Hmmmm good question…or should I say thought experiment.

      I’d like to think it’s not “in my nature” as an individual, buy very “in my nature” as a human being. Human nature is a bitch.

      I’m gonna say, in a vacuum, no. I would be doing other drugs probly, but not physically addictive ones that come with crazy risks. I never liked opiates. Till that perfect time where I needed to dissappear. The rest is history.

      It’s really hard to say cause no one sets out to “get addicted” ykno
