Sounds so familiar...I was early teens in '74 and using for many years. I learned finally in 2017 that the 12 step program holds the answer. I will say finally after many years of hearing the rhetoric of
"recovering " addict was never penned in the BIG BOOK. What is mentioned in the early days of the program is
"Many of them did RECOVER ".... I then realized "RECOVERED " is what the program has offered me, not lifetime
"RECOVERING "... so I did what the founders did and I continue to be recovered!

@staywell25 I was graduating high school in 76...the 70s were a neat time with all the Chevy's the chargers the fords etc. I'm glad you're still around to share your story.
