I quite drinking because I started using opiates instead, so I had no reason to drink anymore.
I’m in an outpatient opiate addiction recovery maintenance program, so it’s not too much of a struggle for me to just not use opiates and take my medication instead. Somehow, instead of relapsing on pills I decided to start using alcohol instead and it took off.
I’m even tempted to go on an opiate bender just to get off the alcohol. I know how bad that sounds!!!
