So I have been sober for 4+ years. It will be 5 years December 11.
Before I got sober I would watch Intervention and try to find new drugs I could try and learn how to do them  When I got sober, and for sometime after, I watched Intervention and would get jealous that I never got to try heroin or meth (a drug I always dreamed about. Don't ask why, it is clearly the addict in me). Like literally so jealous I was frustrated.  Yesterday I watched Intervention with my parents and let's just say I have come a long way from where I use to be. I was watching a girl do heroine and I was honestly disgusted (I felt bad for her too obviously because I am a recovering drug addict myself) that she could put this stuff that looked like dirt into her veins. The drug I always dreamed about doing has finally become disgusting to me.  ---------- These days, and let me fill you in, it has only been very recently (July 2016), I have started caring about my health and what goes into my body. It is possible, for other addicts still fighting their addictions and the addicts that are sober and still fighting their addiction, to become healthy and overcome the cravings and truly rise above the illness. Yes, it takes time (almost 5 years for me), but it is very possible. You just have to keep working at it.

Congratulations on your continued sobriety. That's awesome. I always like reading peoples' stories who have acheived some long term clean time. I find it motivating.
