I got back on the Red Bull again. The first 16 or so weeks of treatment I left it alone, but the absolute lack of energy pushed me back to my favorite vice. I know it's probably not the best thing to do, but a lot of us have HCV due to not making the best decisions. And I've never been really good at taking good advice.

Havent used drugs in 10 plus years and thats how long I HAD hcv. By the grace of god HCV is gone and so is the desire to use mind altering chemicals

I noticed when my Hep C was raging I tended to grab a sweet treat....a lot. Also when depression hit same deal. It was comfort or so
I thought. Now a bit more mindful, off the meds and on the mend I'm trying to use fruit and water for my "reward" fix. I know a lot of us turned to drugs before our recovery began upon diagnosis of this beast of a disease. I hope we are all looking toward a healthy future free from bondage to our disease and addictions.

So what was your drug or vice of choice? Harmful or healthy? Do you see light down the tunnel? I truly hope so.
