So for the last 8 years I take a medication that blocks out opiates (in case of a lapse). It has been hugely beneficial in moments of weakness. There's no point if you literally can't feel the effects.

It used to come in film form that you take everyday, but now there's an injection you take once a month.

I started taking the injection about 3 months ago and it's played absolute havoc with my body and psyche.

For some reason, on Friday, I just felt normal. Motivated, confident and ready for whatever is ahead.

I guess it finally kicked in properly.

I've decided to seek a better employment opportunity. Where I am now is am absolute shitshow. My skillset is better put to use elsewhere.

Enjoy this beautiful day everyone ❤️

If this is the LAIs I've heard they have been a godsend for people who've needed it. Awesome that you are feeling it kick in for you. Good luck with your next opportunity!
