I was a heroin addict from 16 years old through to my mid 20s. I had pretty rough childhood trauma, just to add to your own anecdotes. Crippling depression too.

I’m doing much better these days :) suboxone initially saved my life, then Buvidal injection made sure I’m here to stay.



I’m glad to read that you’re doing better. I meant it when I said I admire people for putting up that battle. Not just the addiction but the things that lead to it. It gives me perspective on how good I have things and how strong people can be. Beating opioid addiction is an incredible triumph.
