    I’ve been an addict since I was 23. I’m 50 now and though my drug of choice is heroin, I think alcohol is the worst. I haven’t used in about 7 urs and the reason why is bcuz I can’t stand fentanyl. Waste of money garbage. I haven’t seen heroin in my area in over 7 yrs now. I guess that’s how I stopped using.

    I'm sorry, but putting any negative connotation towards recovery such as saying that it's 'selfish' isn't super helpful. Anyone that has the desire, want, or need for recovery should pursue it at all costs! Self care 100%, but not selfish 🩵

    • @theaddictsadvocate
      @theaddictsadvocate 6 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the comment. Oxford dictionary defines selfish as the following: (of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure. Yes, I will not consider others when they want me to have a drink with them and I will focus on personally profiting from sobriety. That’s not negative.

      @@theaddictsadvocate The word "Selfish" has a negative connotation to it in the U.S. You and I may not care if we're being selfish, but as an addict and someone who was a people pleaser I would have hated to be "selfish" aka get sober. I've had conversations with folks that are holding back from getting sober and having a better life for themselves because people say it's selfish. I wasn't trying to be rude, I'm just talking from experience and trying to help💙 Good for you for trying to spread the word and congrats on being sober.

Some scholars have found that the opposite of addiction is tied to connectivity and community. Thanks for the comment. Good dialogue!
