Whatever the correct label, why do yo think you minimize the negative impact and huge risk of substances in your life? That sounds like me before I figured it out.

More than 40ish percent of bp and even more w scza have substance issues. What wld be so terrible if u were like the rest of so many of us? I have been clean 12 yrs. It is almost impossible to find bp stability using nonprescribed substances. I tried alcohol, opiates, cocaine--all they did was make me sicker and prolong the anguish.

Smart recovery people will tell you--addicts quit when they are done. Not a moment sooner. If they don't die first. I hope you figure this out.

Be well!
