Before schizophrenia i drank and smoked weed most of the time but this illness forced me to stay sober Ive been sober now for awhile and I must say I think a whole lot clearer im more sociable and my anxiety is way down compared to what it use to be and life is just a whole lot simpler and more enjoyable i wish i wouldve stayed sober during the 8 years or so i had before schizophrenia i wouldve made better decisions and i wouldve been alot happier but now i have this illness and its like a huge handicap but i also know that if i hadnt of gotten this illness i would be doing that same old crap and running myself around in circles like i did for so many years

It kind of worked out for the better that I got addicted to crack. It got me to go to AA, CA and NA and get clean and sober. I started partying when I was 13. If I had never got addicted to crack, I probably would have never got clean and I would have probably been drinking and smoking all these years. Addiction forced me to quit everything or I would have been doing them for the last 30 years.

I had a really good friend who was an Occultist tell me that drugs, alcohol, and sz are a very bad mix.
I should’ve listened to him all those years I was self medicating with alcohol.
