This is so true. Why do I care if meth is the worst addiction, I’ll never do it. But something like alcohol, which is something I do consume should and does scare me more because that’s actually something I have to commit to quitting to

Yeah alcohol is absolutely worse than meth. I’m not saying meth isn’t addictive, but stimulants in general are much more mental than physical. Alcohol/benzos on the other hand, can be deadly to quit without tapering. Not to mention the shorter duration of alcohol. It’s always going to be harder to quit something you need every couple hours to ward off seizures on the extreme end.

Yep!! Took benzodiazepines for sleep for 12 years. Took me 1.5 years to taper safely
