Hey BB,

I like your thoughts on recovery. I’ve experienced most, if not all, of those thoughts too. Being open and honest with your true self is sometimes a terrifying thing, but what I’ve found out is that we’re usually nowhere near as "bad" as we think we are. Sure, we’ve all done some exceedingly stupid things, but we’re not evil…..far from it…..we’re sick. You’ve recognized and accepted that you’re sick and it looks like you’re in the process of moving on and that’s great!!

In my experience, the longer I’ve been away from drugs and practiced some recovery concepts, the more normal I feel NOT using drugs. For a long time, even though I wasn’t using drugs anymore, not using drugs felt totally foreign to me. That’s not the case for me anymore. I do still get cravings from time to time, but overall, not using drugs feels perfectly normal now.

Good Luck on your journey and thanks for your post.
