ya i’m not like other girls. my therapist in high school use to tell me all the time how much better i was than her other teenage patients bc they were ‘just rich drunk kids’ and i had ✨poverty trauma✨ and was sober. of course, i went home and celebrated my metaphorical A+ in therapy by drinking lean and tequila alone in my bedroom, but obvs that’s just cos i’m quirky and different

#ur so right bestie i’m not like other girls - i had SUD when i was 9 😎😎😎#and not one person had a fucking clue!#esp not the professionals y’all are so bad at this shit #‘you don’t even party look at you!’ you’re so right bestie!! i just do coke alone in my room instead!! how cool of me!!!#g-d i’m so glad i’m sober #holy fucking shit i’m so glad i’m sober #we do recover motherfuckers #on another note here:#y’all need to change your perception of addiction & SUDs bc you’re killing ppl like me - of which there are a lot #and shaming ppl living w addiction in front of patients & ppl you assume aren’t struggling #can will and does actively contribute to the feelings of shame that prevent people from reaching out #it also confirms to plenty of us (looking at myself with this one) that we don’t ‘act like addicts’ so we’re actually completely fine #which we most certainly are not #it’s a miracle i didn’t accidentally kill myself or someone else and i spent most of my life being monitored by people #who supposedly have the training knowledge and tools to identify and help ppl with SUDs #tw drugs
