Hey Pandas, How Did You Overcome Or Work Through Addiction?

Dear Addiction,
It’s true that I loved you and gave you years of my life
I was at your mercy- without you I couldn’t suffice.
I loved the drain, the taste, the smell
You gave me thirty minutes of pleasure
I lived hours in Hell.
I realized one night while lying in  bed
You wanted nothing more than to see me dead.
You nearly succeeded- I came close to giving in
But I came to my senses and let my recovery begin.
I won’t say I don’t miss you because that is untrue
But I’ve learned I am strong enough to live without you.
I never thought I’d be able to say goodbye
But I deserve more out of life than your lies.
Gone Forever,
Marsha

I have a very addictive personality and have never truly beaten addiction, but rather… worked around it.
After following the addiction rise through harder substances I decided to find a lesser evil to transfer my addiction to.
Now instead of drugs, it’s games (on PC, PlayStation, mobile it doesn’t matter as long as it hasn’t got micro transactions).
Instead of alcohol it growing plants and veg and building my own farm, keeping miniature donkeys and pygmy goats.
I think I’ve made it sound easier than it is, but I’m ASPD so it’s always been about focusing and controlling my ‘needs & urges’.
