I know a few former heroine addicts. They are so lucky to have not only survived, but also made it to the point in their lives now that I am honestly proud of who they are. Thankfully I never tried heroine or anything else super hard like that. I feel like once you do it surely would become difficult to feel real emotions the same way ever again.
Yoga helped me a lot too. I first got into doing yoga at home around 2013 or 2014. Eventually I got so into it that I became a certified aerial yoga instructor. I don’t teach anymore, but loved it when I did. Sadly there just isn’t many opportunities or much pay for it in my area. My girlfriend teaches yoga now and I know it’s great for her and all of her students which often includes me.
