Basically an addict is an addict despite what they use and how they use it. I'm beginning to understand the disease better then ever after watching my mother go from one addiction to another. I mean one may be less consuming, and one may be cheaper, the other might be okay to drive and function with, and one may even be legal....but where ever it stems from it still is there to suffice her suppression from reality and to make all the pain go away. I see that with in myself in a way too. It's strange looking from the outside of some one else's sickness and seeing it within myself as well. I suppose that's one positive of addiction is ultimately it's all the same and very typical.

I have been 100% sober for 10 full days...10. It's not that big of a deal, I mean it hasn't even been two weeks..but it feels forever to me. No drinking (biggest goal), no pot smoking, pill taking, euphoria in any manner....10 days.
