Not quite. I didn't have insurance. I paid 300 bucks a month to go to a suboxone clinic. That's 2 thousand 700 dollars cheaper than what my junk habit was. So yeah, i had a few thousand I spent on dope every month that could go to sobriety. Except it wasn't thousands but hundreds! I never said u don't have to want it. You do. So there's my proof u don't need insurance. I weaned off subs.
& don't tell me it's just switching one addiction for another. It's not.
There is a huge difference between addiction & dependence. Addiction I was lying, on the streets, pawning my shit, not being a dad, depressed & suicidal, gasping fgor breath in bed & thinking "who cares, I'll go to sleep now...." On subs I was on a legit supervised prescription, I stopped lying, was off the streets, started being a real dad, started confronting why I self medicated in therapy, i started caring about other ppl.. Addiction changed my personality & what I believe in, dependence on legit meds helped me remember who I was. There is always a million excuses as to why I never got sober until I decided I wanted to. I never said it was easy. It's not. But if you decide to NOTHING can get in your way...besides yourself.
Alot of ppl get sober without insurance & being rich.
