Once an addict, always an addict.

[Anon244]

As brutal as it may sound, once you get a taste of that amazing feeling you get from drugs, you will never ever be cured. Even if you quit, it will always be in the back of your mind. Even if its not drugs your addicted to, it will sneak up on you another way, frequent alcohol use, gambling, prescription meds ... Once you have an addiction it never goes away. You either replace it with someone else or be on drugs forever. Its extremely hard.

As the song says " the beast in me". I fight my demons over and over again, never learning. Over the years I have just traded one vice in for another. It's a constant desperation to numb myself. Even though I suffer greatly, I can't give up the grip drugs have over me. I would love some advice and words of wisdom.
