22 years sober from alcohol. Studied addiction and foreign languages culture neurodivergence and now have so much more understanding to enable me to use cannabis moderately to help me with dysregulation and anxiety. People are being misinformed about abstinence from all substances being essential to recovery. I see people struggling and beating themselves up for poor quality of life trying to work programmes. I also see 'gurus' with don't seem to understand other people's experiences are unique to them
