It’s so important not to be ashamed. Because when it comes down to it, it’s really not a choice. I am constantly trying to recover but trust me I know how hard it is. It’s not your fault at all. But believe me you, I and whoever else on this subreddit has the capacity to recover. When you are ready, you’re going to be okay. Just keep fighting - it is really a fight, and you do have to give it all you’ve got, and that’s going to take more energy than you currently have available to give - but whether that’s today, tomorrow, a year or near a lifetime away, you’re going to be able to do it and beat this shit. Anybody who reads this, that goes to you too.

All of us, as long as we have each other, we have the courage to talk about this, use others advice and borrow the strength from those who are able to lend it, we will be able to defeat this strange and destructive addiction, as long as you realise you’re as deserving and worthy as much as the next person.

Keep going, all of you. Because if you don’t believe you can do it, I won’t be sure if I can either. Stick together
