From Addictions To Life
Introduction
During my late childhood and whole puberty, I never really liked nor loved myself (not even for a single moment).
Even though I was trying to hide it and often was playing it tough on the outside, back then I was full of inferiority complexes.
And always felt very insecure and uncomfortable in my own skin.
The way I would describe it, is like:
“Having self doubt, even when I had to go to the toilet.”
I knew had to do something about it, but I wasn’t sure what exactly. So I started messing with drugs.
No, I ain’t some innocent angel nor perfect person, who got into self improvement right after taking his 1st breath, in the moment of his birth.
It’s not even close to that.
Actually for quite a while I was walking down the path towards self destruction. And I was doing it with very big steps.
This essay (all parts) is dedicated to the people who can relate to that.
My main goal with it, is to show and prove to them, that regardless of how bad their situations currently are and despite what the others may say to them, the change is possible.
And it’s never too early, nor too late for it.
In the end of the day since I’ve made it, they’ll probably do much better than me, in a lot less time.
To me there’s no doubt about that.
I always wanted to share my story with someone, but I never had the right person, nor group of people to do so.
Yet I also always knew that no one could be better than you, guys (my readers, listeners, viewers or just people on the internet).
I simply needed better language skills (which I hope now I have), some courage, and proper inspiration.
As long as for the last 2 the feedback I recently got under my “4 Years Of NoFap Experience Video” provided both of them.
So, here we go!
In this and the other parts of this essay, I’m sharing with you my 10 year experience of drug usage and my story of having multiple addictions.
I’m also revealing how I quit all of them. And how I managed to not even touch any the substances for close to a decade.
The reason why I said: “close to” is because the period vary for each and every one of the drugs, I was using.
While for some is around 8 or 9 years, for others is more like 10.
Yes, I developed them at different age, but during certain periods of my life those addictions were overlapping with each other.
The easier for me, overcoming a particular addiction was, the less I’ll talk about the substance.
The more I was into specific drug, the more in depths, I’ll get while talking about it.
Chronological order partly represents, what was happening in my life, as the time was passing by.
It also reflects how strong in terms of addictiveness, each of those drugs was to me.
Let’s begin by naming all of the substances, I’ve ever used and then let’s make clear to which of them I was addicted.
·Cigarettes;
·Marijuana;
·Speed;
·Molly;
·2 types of Hallucinogenic Mushrooms;
Last two I used not more than total of 10 times each (close to 7 or 8 for the Shrooms and more like 5 for the Molly).
To all others I had some form of addiction, which lasted for several years and I had to eventually fight and overcome.
