Thanks, @savana1, that is very insightful. Once again, only share as you are comfortable doing so, but do you think the drugs provided you with some comfort that you were missing growing up?

Hi, @savana1 - wondering if you would share more about how your upbringing impacted your later addiction? Do you feel that you patterned some of your coping style after your mom's behavior?

@hisgrace6992 - what type of childhood hurts do you feel influenced your addictions to meth and alcohol?

@zeph317 - you mentioned a few addictions you had previously, and for a couple of decades. Do you have times when you feel tempted to go back to any of them?
