Overcoming addiction is not a sprint, is a marathon. One day at a time, and not being too hard on yourself is key. Ofc, depending on the addiction, you might need to reach out for help, and its fine. You're human.
When my wife died I just quit. Not drugs but life. I quit caring. I quit living. My life's purpose is gone and I just don't give a rats ass about anything.
So in a effort to blast reality as far away as I can I take all of the money I used to put into our home and the bank and I buy cocaine or crack by the ounce or half ounce and I smoke my brains out driving the reality of my situation away for a few days maybe a week or so at a time.
For those of you who are curious the answer is between 1/2-3/4 an ounce a day. Around 800-1200 dollars US per day. That's for the good stuff Wich around here is at best maybe 75%
