The problem is I keep trying and failing. Since 2021, I’ve managed several periods of sobriety, the longest being 8 months. But I always come back. Whether it’s that itch to feel what the drugs make me feel or I want to blunt my emotions. It always undoes all the progress I make towards making myself better. College is a critical window for adult development, and I have severely hindered mine. After this it’s going to be much harder to develop skills I should have learned in college
