You're always an addict, you're just stronger and know yourself better.
that's some AA nonsense
Strongly disagree, I think it's very useful to accept your own addictive tendencies so you can stay mindful of the risks, but as with most of these things it's probably personal. Use what works for you.
I might always have the potential to become an addict again, that doesn't mean that I'm always an addict.
i mean i do think its true in a sense. ill always have to stay away from strong opioids.
then say "I'm always an addict".
its a disease. ill always be an addict
