You can beat that shit!


When I was on that crap, I lost all passion for EVERYTHING. It sucked the life out of me. All the things I use to love, I had zero interest in but now, that interest and passion is returning and STRONG.....What worked for me was I believed that I hit rock bottom. I was/is so close to losing my job of 17 years and, I failed to stop on my own. I gave it many attempts and my best attempt kept me awake for 7 days straight. I eventually went back from the pain and misery.....Soon after, I was in tears in my house crying for God to please help me because I cannot beat this on my own....So, in about a few months time, the help came. Something on the inside changed in that place and I feel restored. I believe that I have zero cravings because I am maintaining my connection from above and I am being protected. I wake up everyday and say Thank You for another day on this earth and maintain the connection. If I could think and hustle all day about the drug, I can certainly keep my mind on good thoughts all day.

Also: I and no one else will ever be cured. This is a daily routine that keeps my demons and urges away. If I drop my guard and think I deserve just one, I will be right back where I started..I haven't been this happy in 8 years.

I plan on starting to exercise again real soon. I am only 25 days and body still healing....KEEP MOVING is very important. Lying in bed till you feel like getting up will always fail.

Happy to help anyone!
