Tell me your addiction story from the very start to now

I'm a 37 year old Meth/Opiate/Benzo/Marijuana addict who has a great paying job, wife, 4 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a big house.

I first started smoking bud when I was 14 and instantly was hooked. I smoked everyday since the first use for close to 20 years give or take a few days off now and then. Then I took 2-3 hits of some incredible LSD at 16 and that's when I let loose. I started taking Blue Hydros, Percocet, Xanax, Valium, Mushrooms, Extasy, whatever I could find. I sold copius amounts of bud to fund my habits. Back when I sold I was getting weed that know one has ever seen b4 in my town. Like 10-25lbs a week. So I had a lot of cash to blow on drugs. Then I good buddy started doing Meth/Dope around 19-20 maybe and I did it now and then but wasn't a fan of the staying up for days and not eating. Mind u this dope was different then the stuff now. It was str8 up crank that took you to another dimension. Sleep and food wasn't even an option when you would use this nowadays I eat and sleep after using crazy. So little did I know me using pain pills and Xanax everyday would lead to some serious addiction/consequences. I struggled for years getting money to pay for my habits blah blah. Fast forward to 2013 then the heroin took over. 4 years of stealing and doing whatever to get my Tar. I also used meth on the side to wake up for work. I didn't enjoy meth much but it did the trick. So after my wife discovery my habits again I decided to get on suboxone in 2018. After getting on subz I quit everything initially Alcohol, weed, meth, heroin, Xanax. It was going good. Then I started having trouble with weight and gained 50lbs and felt ashamed of it. I always weighed 165-170 so seeing this I decided to do a little Dope to lose the weight. Well 2 years later I'm still losing the weight lol I want to stop but I'm in a cycle that won't allow me to. I work at 3am so I need the morning ritual of smoking and snorting dope for an hour and taking my subz to function properly at work. I've found when I don't do this everything thinks something is wrong with me. So that about some it up in a short story.
