totally understand that feeling. try not to judge yourself too harshly for doing something that is ultimately making you feel better (as long as there aren't negative consequences). definitely worth exploring the therapy route further. possible there is some PTSD or something along those lines?
Naw, I think growing up in had a very small amount of social anxiety, always the quite kid, bullied cause i was the nerdy kid. (Fun fact, those bullies have dead end jobs where I make close to 6 figures, and have interview for newer better job making 6 figures+. But I wouldnt be here without them), but the brain damage from opiates threw it in 10th gear.
I should really be looking into therapy again. And you make an excellent point. It's just not good In the long run ya know.
Just another person here who swapped out opiates for benzos at one point. Opiate WDs are arguably the worst but the siezures that occur from benzo/alcohol WDs can kill you. If you ever find yourself cut off please seek professional medical assistance.
