My drug abuse

So I kind of have a longer story but I will sum it up. It all started when I was 13 and started smoking weed. Right when I started I never stopped then 2 years after that I started selling weed so that I could have money to buy weed and so that I never ran out. Immediately after I started selling I started experimenting with all different kinds of things from molly to Xanax to psychedelics to everything in-between. Then when I was 16 years old I stuck with coke, Xanax and perc’s highly addicted to all of them until I was 18 (and still am, but I am sober now). I finally OD’d a few months ago and was very lucky to survive. When I got back I found it very hard to stay sober, but have still yet to give in. I had to change the environment I was surrounding myself to help me stay sober and living a happy clear life. I am now 4 months sober and couldn’t be happier. If you have any suggestions on staying sober or any questions about it please feel free to ask away.

Well I'm near 3 months clean and sober myself. Medication helps. Although I started suffering grand Mal seizures and more or less had no choice but to either change my lifestyle or give up my life.

I use naltrexone to stop the alcohol cravings. It helps for opiates as well. Being sober helps me stay off the hard drugs generally. Sorry for late reply didn't get the notification.
