I had this experience in 2014. The special thing about it was that it happened in such a natural way. Without withdrawal symptoms – without drama – without relapses – without it seeming hard or difficult.
My substance addictions left me with so much ease that I sometimes wondered if I had been an addict at all. Everywhere you go you are told that it must be hard and that it is almost impossible to let go of your addiction completely – it is often suggested to be a lifelong struggle.
