Congrats, on being clean. Never thought of myself as a junkie but I did like drugs when I was younger.

How long did it take you to get clean? I have heard it takes just as long to get clean in as many years of using like 10yrs on takes 10 yrs to get off. Is this true?

Did you go to rehab or did you quit on your own?

It took a few months. But then I got to a point where it was just nasty to me. Especially if I saw someone who was on dope and how gross they looked
As for the 10 years on 10 off I have no idea It is hard for me to watch movies where they are shooting up not because i want to but because it reminds me of how effed up i was I know I love my life and going back isn't worth it

Never ever shot up. I have used everything just could not bring myself to stick a needle in my arm. But I get it. Did you stop because you got pregnant?
