@cablequeencourt: About a year ago I use to abuse substances heavily everyday for years because I thought it would help me get through tough times. But in reality it made it worse, I swapped out those urges for going on a walk or going to the gym a second time. (Definitely easier said than done) Find something that truly makes you happy and betters yourself and you’ll find happiness within you :). I’m not posting this to say I’m better than anyone else, but to show their is hope for anyone else that’s struggling with addiction. Some people can use substances and not have an addiction, I’m simply just not one of those people.
