We are more susceptible to addiction but there IS help out there! It’s important you have a good support network, too. Having folks around who encourage the addiction isn’t good for anyone.

I was addicted for 2-3 years. It started with just weed, but then when I realized my usage was becoming a problem and I tried to quit, I started drinking way more than normal. I was once able to be a social drinker and at some point found myself drinking almost every night. But pleased to say that currently I’m 8 months and 12 days sober, which is the longest I’ve been clean in between relapses :) Keep going, you’re not alone❤️
