Honestly cigarettes were probably the hardest for me to quit, the only way I finally managed to get beyond that initial climb was a close family member was diagnosed with lung cancer and died shortly after, this was enough of a shock to carry me through the hardest stage.

I'd be interested to know a bit more about the method they used. Obviously anecdotal but when I started getting heavily involved in drugs my group of friends consisted of 7 people including myself, today only 4 of us are still alive, 75% recovery is not what I've experienced.

It's almost as if the political and financial elites are treated differently by the law than you or I. Oh wait.

Not sure how to feel about this article. I'm about turn 28 and at various times in my past I have been addicted to cigarettes, methamphetamine, ketamine, heroin and tramadol.

I'm currently clean, however I feel like I am always just one small slip away from sinking into the abyss, it takes a concentrated effort almost every day to avoid this abyss, I certainly don't feel like I'm growing out of it. I am happily married and have a high paying job that I love, I'm generally really quite happy about life but still feel the darkness calling.
