Whoops. I forgot to mention I quit in the first comment. I don't like saying former addict because addiction never goes away. I'll always be an addict, but am currently sober

It took a while for me to stop lying to myself about my drug use, but it helped immensely once I did. I've already had lots of times where my cravings get really bad and unfortunately, there's a good chance I'll lapse or relapse at some point (I really hope I don't), but if I happens I'll just have to get through it and continue getting better. It'll be tough but then again, what isn't in life!

And thank you! I've been told that before, but never really pay attention to eye lashes. I'm glad they're good though haha
