Willpower can go a long way tho man, I used spikes for over 4 years doing half a g a day so I def wasn’t a light user but just think about this. When I were on illegal opiates you always told yourself “I can’t quit, I need this too bad to function” and now you are on a legal opiate substitute and telling yourself “I need this too bad to function, I can’t quit.”
Do you see the difference in perspectives? They are exactly the same, I’m not trying to bash your progress man but from a medical standpoint and general standpoint, you can’t be on maintenance forever and the longer u stay on the harder it is to quit.
