In my early 20s, so my addiction isn't as long as some on this site, not trying to negate the importance of getting rid of it. Posting here, and will update once a day for the first few weeks, and then whenever I feel from then on. Starting my thread as an accountability factor. Dip has taken over every aspect of my life---school, fitness, sleep, everything. I've been faced with this reality for the past few weeks, but have failed almost everyday of getting rid of it. However, I will finally defeat it. I no longer have to feel like I'm lying to my loved ones, and want to have my overall energy back. I want to be confident in who I am, and I know me dipping everyday has severely obstructed that. I hope to develop more use of this site for support, coping tactics, withdrawal support----etc. Thanks for any potential support coming my way. This site, and everyone who uses it inspires me. I just want to be myself again. And I will conquer this. Tomorrow (as cliche as it sounds) is the day that will start the life-changing process of ridding myself from the chains that is my addiction. Thank you to anyone who reads this.
