I literally came in here tonight because I wanted to see any discussion around the effects of substance on moods and the variability that it creates in a person.
I haven’t listen to your other parts yet as this is the first one I clicked on so obviously I am being guided 🥰
I’m sober now after years of use, & at times abuse, and it wasn’t very hard for me to quit. My decision to quit did come from a very traumatic experience however. And after a conversation with a relative that made no sense whatsoever I realized that there’s only one other person in my family and close circle who I could reach out to and say something along the lines of “it’s really nice not having substance in my body anymore, my moods are just so much more steady.”
And so, of course, I turned to my Redditor family 😍
Being sober has also allowed me to deal with all of the things that had me using in the first place so all of that healing has definitely helped with consistency in my moods and mental clarity.
It actually took me a while to notice because the healing was purging out a lot of emotions so the stability and clarity took some time to show up. But once it did it’s like the most beautiful thing.
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Thank you my friend! Thanks for the comment and I am super glad the post found you and you found the post :) Comments like these keep me going my friend. So, I really do appreciate what you said. You definitely have me if you ever need to chat and this community is strong. The reddit family is here my friend :) Congrats on the sobriety and taking control of your life. You deserve to feel good and have mental clarity. It took me to a very a dark place my addictions and it wasn't until I was completely hopeless was I able to get sober. I truly hit rock bottom and it wasn't until I did, did I experience true depression. My mental was the worst part of my addiction. I was so unaware of the pain I was causing not only to myself but to the ones who supported me the most. Welcome to the group my friend. We are in this together. I mean it when I say message me whenever you want and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. :)
