| Comment | Nope, I am powerless though, completely different.
Powerlessness was a feature of my using, once I realised that when I pick up and start using drugs I become powerless and my life is unmanageable then I decided to stay stopped as it never did what I thought it would nor would it solve the myriad of problems I thought it would. I realised that no matter what substance I put into my body I was compelled to continue until something outside myself forced the stop. Always baffled me that one, simply because no one I met when seeking help had any idea why I would continue given the circumstances.
Abstinence from all drugs was the key for me as I used to think that some drugs were different, I also realised that on the many occasions I did stop one or another I always ended up in the same pretty desperate state. |
