My intro...
Hey everyone. I'm a 25 year old from Florida. Started drinking at an early age. It was an innocent thing in my teens. Something we'd do on the weekends and just have fun. As I got older my one day turned into two. The alcohol then soon later started taking a slow progress into drugs. Found a partner in which enhanced my drug use by 100x in which binges was introduced to my lifestlye.
By then, left partner.... started a new relationship with a new partner in which she had never tried a drug ... EVER. I saw this to be a great thing for myself in my transition from 24-25. She knew I was struggling...ah, well she knew I struggled. Those few months were bliss for me. I hadn't touched a drug but was drinking sociably. She wasn't much of a drinker herself. Fast forward a bit... things started getting ugly, still hadn't touched a drug.
Ended up turning out my "savior" wasn't much of a savior at all. Because I told her I had struggled and was a recovering addict she down talked me all the time. She used that to kick me while I was allready down but trying to get up. Relationship turned abusive(not physically). I left the relationship in which at this point she came to my home and completely vandalized it... By the time all was said and done, lost hope... started using and binging again with old partner due to my emotional status and here I am today....
Hope I didn't bore you... but thats a small taste of the last year or so of my life.

Welcome aboard! Glad you came here and I look forward to reading more posts from you. Don't worry about boring us because we don't bore easily. Everyone's story helps someone on the road to recovery and you just never know who or how many might be helped. Sorry about your ex, but glad you're trying to find some peace now.
