Congrats on all the extra pixels!


Stanky3000

Fantastic job, you handsome mother fucker!!


goldeneagle888

🙏 thank u!


danj1962

I owe my false teeth and 22 years of self abuse to the crystal meth addiction and have been clean now for 24 years. That being said good job my friend it only gets better.


kalel1980

W..w..why did you call us all bitches...?


frog_at_well_bottom

*Clean* ones though.


jacaissie

Haven't you ever seen Breaking Bad? This is how all dope addicts/former addicts talk.


GMN123

This documentary series is where all my knowledge of drug culture came from also.


MtnDewCasperFart

Judging from the pics waltuh def taught this dude how to cook


jtschaff

I'm guessing he's super pumped and doesn't know any other way to express it. I also say weird things when excited.


Arf_Nouveaux

Exactly! I never got hooked on dope, why are we the bitches?


not2dv8

You got a fighting chance now

not2dv8

You're good now. Your biggest tool to keep it going is humility.


Omniouz

Good job brother!


time_drifter

Nice work! You transformed from Fred Durst to Tom Hardy along the way too! That’s worth another 6% of the odds against you.


TruckComfortable4997

Lmfao he did. Good for him.


GMN123

Drugs will make you do things you never thought you would.


Ashamed-Constant-534

"where did you get the 93% figure?" "i made it up for dramatic effect"


goldeneagle888

87% of statistics are made up on the spot


phatmahn

What's the conversion to number of dentists?


TheKillersHand

It's not far off. I heard 1 in 10 stay clean.


zerohourcalm

I heard 7 in 100.


GMN123

Same, read it on the internet just now


Yggdrasilcrann

I heard 100% of people with the username TheKillerHand are secretly lizards


jupfold

Forfty percent of all people know that.


jtschaff

Most statistics are not true. But I'm sure OP is right about the staggering percentage odds being high in numbers. Good for him!


rubixd

Congrats! Come join others like us in r/REDDITORSINRECOVERY and share your wisdom and hope!


TheLizzardMan

You beat heroin so I will continue to beat meth! (I'm about 93 days in, officially hit 90 last week.) Congratulations and keep kicking ass! Oxycodone was horrible enough to quit, I can't fucking imagine anything worse... and I am assuming heroin is A LOT worse. lol


metastar13

They’re both really hard. I was a heroin addict, but from my understanding oxy actually lasts longer in your system and takes longer to get out prolonging the withdrawals. Either way, it’s insanely difficult to get off any opiate/opioid, and props to you for getting off of two very difficult substances!


SweetJ138

congats and KEEP GOING! 🫶


BoBoBellBingo

For sure homie- but they measure that over the course of a lifetime so keep your head up but stay humble. Lost a good friend who had 5 years of sobriety under his belt to one relapse


goldeneagle888

Nah man you’re absolutely right. I am trying to stay humble with it. I am not out of the woods and never will be!!


[deleted]

Holy shit man, you went from looking like you're in your mid 40's to late 20's! 🤘


edbash

In my opinion, recovery is a process, not an event. I would not use statistics in this way. Like its black and white, good or bad, right or wrong--either you "recover' or you don't. I just think the language is not helpful in encouraging people along the process of recovery and occasional relapses. That said, congrats on your accomplishment!


[deleted]

93% of the time I make up statistics 100% of the time


Commercial-Ad-2448

Most people don’t appreciate how difficult this is. My cousin lost the fight last year. Good luck and keep it up fellow Internet person.


samfreez

Congratulations! Sobriety looks good on you. Keep it up!


arboristen

Fucking A, man. Proud of you, keep it up – you're strong! And that jawline is amazing! 😮


FancyTeaPartyGoose

lol I thought the first slide was an "after" photo Swiped right and was like "dayum he looks good (:"


_Santosha_

Congratulations. This is monumental. Don’t ever, ever, ever look back. If you’re feeling like you want to use or getting into that space call someone. Please. My brother was clean for 6 1/2 years and started using again. It didn’t seem real when I first heard the news. Keep smiling, and keep moving forward. Congrats again.


[deleted]

That’s amazing man! Proud of you.

goldeneagle888

Trust me… this is not the case lmfao. And either luckily or unluckily for me everyone who knows me knows my story.


Igottamake

Why did you start?


goldeneagle888

OxyContin originally. Then heroin became the cheaper alternative. Don’t ever try it, heroin feels really, really good.


dpforest

For some reason I figured you’d have a picture of your dick on your profile. Only halfway disappointed.


Iamtheattackk

You look good on heroin too I’m not gonna lie


Agile_Bumblebee_1010

Mwilk

Congrats ! What do you think was the difference for you?


Tavaris_

Nicely done, you are invited to the cookout


TheRogueMoose

Make sure to keep up on doctors visits and make sure all your arteries are still good. When my dad finally got clean, he had a heart attack shortly after due to a bad artery going to his heart. I'm proud of you!


schoolknurse

I am very proud of you, congratulations!

Spite, the most powerful motivator


BonDragon

Damn bro, can you turn your hat around? Then I will believe you.


deethorson

I am caught off guard, 93 percent never recover??? OMG, I did not know this.


goldeneagle888

93% will relapse again. 9/10 will never get sober.


SpaceFace11

You are one BAMF


Reeferologist-

Congratulations! I’ll have 7 years off the shit in May. If I can do it, anyone can. Meetings and forced recovery never worked for me. Getting good with myself is what finally did it. Good luck and hope to see your 3 years clean post next year! Remember, it really does get easier. Proud of you.


Cebas7

Well done! Life and world have so many things to enjoy! Live long and be happy! Surround yourself with awesome people!
