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

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,.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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. 💯🤔👍
Hit the nail on the head there bill wise words from a man that's been through it all thanks the video helped keep doing great work mate all the best in your road to recovery my friend 🙏

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.
