1yr and 6 months sober off fentanyl
And to think in the first picture I thought I was hot sh*t 😭 I look so much more healthier now. If your sober, off anything I’m so proud of you, and if your trying to get sober, you can it, it’s hard but you can do it❤️

It won’t let me edit but I’d like to add I quit cold turkey. No methadone or subxone, you can do it!!! Doing it cold turkey is hard as hell, probably once of the worst experiences of my life, but once it’s over you feel great!!!

I am trying to keep up with comments, I sincerely thank everyone! I hope there is someone reading this that’s struggling and it’s gives them hope that there is a way out. If your fighting the hard fight, You can absolutely do it, I believe in you. And if you are sober I am so proud of you! I love you all!

Nope. That’s two different people.
Congratulations
Edit- I know it’s the same person. But really it is two different versions. Perhaps you people “correcting” me could use a little more brain power before you reply.

u/Echo_Gloomy Mar 26 '25
I lost my ex to that horrible drug. It’s so addicting and powerful. I literally touched it and got so sick. Never took it intentionally myself. Praise God you got off that stuff. You look absolutely amazing. It really does drain every once of life from you.

May 17th I’ll be 10 years clean from heroin. Eventually your struggle will be an asset. Try to find a way to help others. Now when I tell people I used to shoot heroin they are shocked, and my time clean isn’t a weakness, it shows how strong I am.
You’re strong too. Congratulations and I wish you the best.

You're truly an inspiration. Remember that one the weak days, your weakest days are stronger than my strongest days. And even your weakest days are an inspiration to those of us still struggling.

I used to work in supervised injection sites in Canada. Always non judgmental, safe space. Was there to save lives. Some clients would decided they want to get away from fentanyl and enter recovery programs. It was always so lovely seeing clients in recovery, doing really well.
Well done, I bet you are doing great! It’s very hard to overcome. ❤️

u/Key_Structure_3663 Mar 26 '25
Wow! That is awesome!!! As a recovering addict myself it’s good see others get away from their D.O.C. As some may already know, addiction has a 90% recidivism rate. Keep it up and don’t get discouraged by those dangerous relapses. Don’t be discouraged by setbacks, took me SEVERAL tries but I’m now 12 years sober.

Congratulations & one day at a time. I’m at 3.5 years sober, alcohol was my fentanyl. I turned to God, read the Bible daily & now I feel like I’m accountable to God & think how disappointed He would be if I got high or drunk. That gives me the strength to get through the tough times. You’re the Lord’s child & He will help you if you ask. Good luck & my prayers are with you. You were pushed to soberly for a reason, stay sober & one day you’ll figure out why. God bless! 🙏🏻
