I’m stuck in that horrible vicious circle right now. Taking substances is taking all my problems away at the time but making them 100 times worse when I wake up in the morning. Well done to you and Dan for this, great efforts…. I need to do the same

58, too, near 30 years clean class A drugs and you are not the only one , get many dreams too maybe its because talking about them still or seeing things about them..stay strong fella
Well done keep going you can do it it’s going to be a rollercoaster but just go with it mate don’t line other peoples pockets with money that’s causing you misery 😘
I'm slowly realising that this is a battle right to the end. I live with someone too, billy its a bit scary because I make the mistake of comparing my recovery to my peers, in recovery. which I hate doing because its not right way of thinking, the only time I feel good, genuinely is when im on a meeting, like the way you worded...."" I live with ...." as an addict I want to learn EVERYTHING on how I can maintain, keeping myself in this frame of mind,.
When you've got kids to worry about, you balance up that weight . It's family first - or the total shame of trying to start again. Who or what is more important? Is it those kids who will love you for all eternity, despite your faults - or is it a quick hit and oblivion for half a day? Been there, Bill. I always chose family, even when my head and legs were trying to take me back to the bad old days. It's a struggle only YOU can deal with. Stay strong, mate.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial He will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.
Don't forget, the vast, vast majority of people can drink and smoke and have a use up now and then with no problem. They haven't got addictive personalities. Lucky them, but that is most people
As soon as we start recognising these ‘voices’ in our heads as normal the better, everybody has them. They’re called issues, experiences, problems, reflections and can be overcome with responsibility, planning and support from people who want to help xxx
Your in a very small group, The people that get out, You should be so proud of yourself for having the strength of character to escape. Your an inspiration to others Billy and your realness is the key to helping others, Keep it up mate.
Not drank for 5 years. Was never an addict but when i drank i did stupid shit which got me in trouble with the law so i decided one day to pack it in and itll be 5 years august not had a single drop. Proud of me self. Lol
I can relate to everything you have said here Bill, I’ve had an awful week and stuck back in that horrible vicious circle that I need to get out of which is so hard. My long term partner broke up with me at the back end of last year and it’s hit me like a train. I need to pick myself up off the canvas…. I’m glad I come across your video, sometimes it’s easy to forget there are plenty of us with the same struggles!
Billy you have a life now you did it your mum and joe must be so proud of you tough cookie to get to where you are now be proud of yourself i can only imagine what you been through good luck and well done you
billy,look where you was a few years ago and look at you now,your wisdom and your words are very powerful,l do hope people look at you and say to them selfs,i can do that,keep up your great work billy mate,all the very best gary x x
facts billy it is a never ending battle with addiction, I've just had a relapse recently on opiates because I thought I could just do it on the weekend, big mistake. I think I've just gotta cut it all out and just get completely sober no drinking or anything. Except I do vape still but it's better than smoking cigs and smelling like shit and I feel more healthier in the gym and that.
Billy stay strong my brother I've over come two addictons gambling and drink I got no help but I've fought threw it mate please my brother stay strong for you snd your joe and ya mam
Micheal I got no help at all from no one I done it of my own back don't get me wrong I still fight it every day but I know I can walk past arcades and not be tempted mate don't let it pull you down my mate

Hi Billy, Thanks for your vid mate. It's a wonderful thing to be free physically from addiction, however it's more difficult at times to be free mentally from addiction!. Life has a habit of throwing awkward challenges at us, some which may lead to us craving an escape!. These are our tests. It's important to know that when we're struggling we are not alone!. There's support out there for people!. There's groups that we can attend where there are others who are struggling just like us - they understand!. We can pick the phone up and talk about what's going on and how we're feeling. We don't have to go it alone!. Thanks again for your vid Billy. 💯🤔👍
Every morning, I think how many beers are in the fridge. Sad I know but that's my demons. 55 , been on the piss since 1985, I know I'm a twat, I know I need help. The Demons are telling me Keep going Taff . Life's a Rave. I know what I know. ❤ Sending love Ya loveable Scouser ❤❤❤

Good one that mate, only addicts know, might not be a knife or gun, but them drugs are one of the strongest poisons known t man, and for ppl that do or have injected those said drugs, then we must have a fuckin screw loose, like playing russian roulette, countless times a day, every day until we stop, die or just stay an addict with nothing, for the rest of you're life, powerful when you think about it Billy, thank you for that, you're a Goodfella, hope Terry, and Joe are well 👍, not seen em forra while, 👌💯😎.

Technically, a serial killer is anyone who has killed more than 2 people in their life!🤔🤔🤔 Trust me there are many individuals out there that have killed more than 2 people been to prison served there time and are now released!! 🤫🤫🤫
With you on that same journey bill heads bit fucked but won't go down that route again for sure my bad days are far better than them days and the nightmares are real all best bro ✊

Out of the blue, i've had dreams of using. Woke up in a panic, the relief i felt that it was a dream phew! 58 now not used drugs since year 1999.
Swame here 25 year clean still have nightmares so realistic but we're strong 💪 God bless mukka ✊

Haven't had heroin for 39 years, weed and coke for 15 years, just have a social bevvy now, never relapsed once and never will, good luck everyone 👍

As someone brought up Catholic and who doesn't read the Bible or go to church the wisdom in the Bible amazes me
Don't forget, the vast, vast majority of people can drink and smoke and have a use up now and then with no problem. They haven't got addictive personalities. Lucky them, but that is most people
Keep on keeping on mate can see the pain in your eyes, the good and the bad news is feelings don’t last for ever

It’s easy to swerve the right decisions
Great message from your self well in lad your doing good 👍 the addiction is always around no matter what
Av got a heavy weed habit can’t knock it for the life of me man
Try and Smoke blunts for 2 weeks to kick the nicotine.
Lot easier to kick the weed after that.
Nicotine is what your body craves.
Great advice Billy, everyone has there own ways of coping but having a word with yourself on a regular and being aware of your surroundings and the people you are surrounding yourself with will go along way to helping bro!😉

I smoke weed every now and then. When I can’t sleep it’s better than tablet off the doctor. When I haven’t had a joint I don’t think about it

Take it easy look after no 1
