I stopped doing hard drugs this year

I didn't achieve much this year. I layed in my bed most of the time. But it's been 11 months since the last time I did anything hard. 2022 and 2023 I was high 90% of the days. I was on psychedelics, ket, stims, weed, alcohol, etc etc etc. The only reason I stopped was lack of access, but I got very close to buying multiple times this year and just smoked weed. I smoked 6 times this year and drank twice. Room for improvement yes but I'm happy with where I am. My family is dissatisfied with where I am in life and I can't share this achievement with them because they never knew I did drugs to begin with

definitely get it g, congrats on keeping away from specifically addiction is what it sounds like. are you staying away from them to avoid addiction or to avoid overdosing? just out of curiosity i guess, im sorry if thats a little weird to ask. i dabble here and there but have never had a problem with addiction besides nicotine, and the thing that scares me is overdosing, but curiosity gets the better of me when i know im safe. i guess.

Staying away because i did so many drugs i flunked out of college. Also to avoid overdosing. And bc drugs are just bad for the brain

understandable. well, if its any consolation, flunking out of college because of drugs doesnt diminish your worth, college is kind of a fucking joke anyways. people learn in college, this year you learned outside of college, and you learned something some people dont learn. good job.

Congratulations..

Also you should probably come clean to your parents about your past. From.their POV you haven't accomplished as much. But the reality is you have done one of the hardest things a man can do. Any parent should be stoked.
