I'm an addict. I'm not using anymore, but I wonder if I will ever NOT be an addict. Or if that's possible?

I think that you will NOT be an addict as long as you NEVER start using again. I also know that not using involves going to meetings and not losing sight of the personality traits, etc. that lead to using in the first place.
Nobody is above the urge to use, nor the need to refrain if they have stopped.
I am definitely not one to judge because I am oh so human.

Congratulations on not using anymore. Unfortunately, once an addict always an addict. One can be sober and clean for a very very long time and pick up and use and find themselves back into addictive behaviour.
I do believe control is possible through lifestyle and attitude changes.
Keep it up!

Good on you that you're clean. Never forget that you were once using lest you let your guard down and slip. It's a badge of achievement to say you are an addict because you overcame a huge obstacle in life that some never do. Keep up the good work!!

My pal improve into addicted heavily on speed after being in an exceedingly abuse relationship that almost fee her life. She is now completely sparkling of all of that and has improve into an exceedingly expert profession minded lady. you're able to try this too, you purely could take administration and boost the self-properly worth and the will potential. it is going to likely be stressful yet believe and you will succedd. no longer something in life comes basic. She hates going to medical doctors and dentists and all alike as she additionally suffered bulima (dentists can tell acid in vomit eats away the teeth)and its all very daunting as everytime they ask approximately it and it reminds her of her darker days. yet she tells her self how far she has come from those days and sees a favorable side to all of it.
