How My Life Was Before Addiction and How It Is Now

An addict can do many bad things in life only because of the effects of drugs. All the time, I thought that drugs healed me, made me feel better, made the sadness go away, and made me go forward in life.
Today, I realized that during my addiction period, I was a loser who was unable to do anything for my body and was unable to complete a task and many other things that I neglected. Today, I learned that drugs were something of the moment, which I was obsessed with and had turned into an awful addiction. Every morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I thought about how to secure the amount of the drugs for the day without realizing how the addiction was killing me day after day. I thought it was medicine for my body and mind. But in reality, it was the road of my own destruction. I thank God that I found the force to stop it and didn’t end up in psychiatry or, even worse, dead.
Today, I am happy that I live without the effects of drugs, and I am free of them.
