Finally, 2021, I got clean and I'm staying sober for the last one year. And I want to share my experiences and how I'm trying to get better staying sober. And I want to discuss about addiction and mental illnesses because I had a lot of mental illnesses. Those were not diagnosed. Like as a child, I had ADHD that turned into adult ADHD. I had anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder that I still have MDD, major depressive disorder

I'm not on any substances and I haven't been through that kind of journey just yet, and hopefully I never will. But I really appreciate it when people come out, then talk about the steps that they took in terms of recovery. So I really look forward to your spell cost and hearing more from you. And I'm going to invite more people to this conversation. So cheers

It's not a stigma. It's not something that you should be ashamed of. It's just like physical health and drug addiction is also a mental health issue. And one more thing that I want to say is, yes, it is possible. It is possible to get out of severe drug addiction. It is possible to get out of severe mental illnesses. Psychosis. I have had, like, three, four life threatening overdoses

Hi. And one very important thing I want to mention that quitting cold Turkey never worked for me. I tried it many times. Relapsed and quitting cold Turkey is life threatening. Don't quit cold Turkey. Don't even try to do that. It'll f*** you up. Just go to a doctor. Taper. Tapering is the only way. Tapering is the only way. And even for Opiates, cold Turkey never worked for me. It's unnecessary pain, unnecessary trouble
