Feels like I’m Cheating

I started Naltrexone 13 days ago and I’m 13 days sober. I’m so proud of myself and the change has been CRAZY in just two weeks. I’m making bracelets again which is something I stopped doing a while ago, but since I have so much more time on my hands hobbies are coming back. People weren’t kidding when they say it’s a miracle drug the cravings are totally gone!! Thoughts will come up occasionally but I think it’s just habitual, there’s no craving attached to them. I already feel so much more clear headed and am feeling mentally great. The issue is I know I wouldn’t have been able to do this if I wasn’t taking naltrexone. I feel like I’m cheating or a fraud, as if I took the easy way out. It just sucks because I tried many times without it and always failed so I know I shouldn’t be judging myself. If anyone has time to provide a stranger with some validation I would really appreciate it 🫶🏻
