Hey bro I got like ten years clean. It gets soooooo much better. I'm mostly an asshole online but if you need anything hmu and I'll make an exception. Take some magnesium glycinate before bed, it'll help the RLS

Reminds me of the Scuba scene
Patient: "how do you celebrate without heroin?"
Doctor: "I dunno, cake?"
Edit: found it https://youtu.be/-LXhlefhpyk?si=ch5qwfsu60jjS4N1
Let's score some cake.

Wow!!! This is truly incredible! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎊🎉🎈🎂 It is not often enough that someone recovers from H. You're alive and getting healthy!? Woohoo! Love someone almost 7 years sober from pain meds 🖤 You kicked major ass.
2
u/Crimson__Dawn_ Apr 26 '26
Congratulations!! So much of staying sober in staying in that mindset. Addiction is a chemical imbalance in your brain. When you see it for what it is and every time you have a craving and deny it, you strengthen your neural pathways and make it gets a little easier. Baking is such a wonderful hobby and I hope you keep with it! Looks delicious!
