Welcome Gamemaster. I hope you find the support and wisdom you seek from these forums. A good start could be making a why statement. List down your reasons for why you want to find freedom. Make it personal. From here, start to inform yourself on different strategies, tools, resources which you could use to help you build an individualised recovery plan. Also, keep reaching out and engaging with the community. We can't do this alone. One last thing, be kind, patient, and forgiving to yourself. If you've been addicted for eight years, freedom will not come overnight. One day at a time. All the best.
Hey welcome to the community! You're in the right place. I would mirror what @recoverykiwi said, be easy on yourself if you can. Forgive yourself and use your pain as a catalyst to a new way of life. You have spent nearly a decade in active addiction and recovery doesn't happen overnight. Recovery takes time and dedication. Trust the process and experience the gifts. Again, welcome to the community! I look forward to reading more about your journey. Wishing you the best!
