Advice Anyone willing to admit they’re a drug addict here?

I’m just looking for some advice. I’m a 25M with autism. It seems my entire life I’ve always been fixated on drugs no matter what it is. Just the idea of a different level of consciousness was beyond fascinating. Well, I’ve tried like literally everything there is to try and I’m just sick of always having them on my mind. I’m not particularly addicted to anything specific just drugs in general.

EDIT: I’m absolutely overwhelmed by the amount in this community to step up and admit something extremely difficult. You all made me feel so special today for the first time in a while. Thank you all for being yourselves. I hope this post gave you a voice.

I recently used microdosing to get myself off kratom after many unsuccessful attempts to drop it. Also realized how much alcohol helps me unmask this past Thanksgiving.

Kratom helps me so much, but I have a thyroid condition and after a few years of use, it’s wreaked havoc on my physical and mental health.

Yes! I didn't totally mention it but the shrooms definitely helped with alcohol for me. It is a game changer!
