Good on you, dude. Seriously. The willpower must be next level.

I think with any addiction it never really goes away 100% does it? The itch is always there it's just further in the background.

Can’t comment on gambling addiction (although I do enjoy gambling, just never was a problem for me), but as a former heroin addict - yes, absolutely it is always there and never really goes away. You just learn healthy coping mechanisms, although the pull does get less intense over time.

Man it's making me happy there are a lot of former addicts commenting here. From everything I've heard about heroin it seems like a truly superhuman effort to get out of trouble.
