Since I was 17 I’ve been dealing with alcohol and substance abuse. It first started with alcohol then weed and I’m now currently struggling with a cocaine addiction. It’s honestly been a real issue and it’s worsening my mental health, I’ve made choices that I regret and part of me wants to make more serious efforts towards sobriety or at least learn to control my use but another part of me doesn’t want to face what I’ve been avoiding with my addictions. I’m aware of the reasons why I use and honestly thinking about what life would be like without this addiction is both terrifying and appealing. I know what I need to do but I’m stuck, it’s like knowing how to walk and wanting to but your body refuses to move. I’d appreciate any advice or tips if anyone’s also dealt with this feeling and was able to move forward.
