General on Sidechat | As an addict, the most difficult thing I wish people would realize, is that even though I’m using, it doesn’t change my core values/beliefs. I can’t say the same for other addicts, but even when I’m using, I still adhere to my moral “code.”

And I think that’s what makes it even more difficult to stop, for me at least. Like, I still have the same virtues under the influence as I do completely sober, yet sobriety is still so awfully boring in my mind.

I worked with many people with substance abuse issues, and there's such a negative stigma surrounding it. thank you so much for sharing your story. It really means a lot that you've spoken up—even on an anonymous platform. wishing you the best going forward, and keep pushing! ✌️🫶

If it were the case that a breach in sobriety caused me to do something horrible, that I truly regretted, then maybe it would be easier to swear off my vice. But to this day, that hasn’t happened.

Thank you. In return, even in an anonymous setting, your words do mean a lot.
