I just wanted to share a graphic I created ( with visme ) that illustrates my struggles with addiction over the past 15 years, from when I was 18 until now at 32. As I slowly get my life back on track, I thought it would be nice to have a visual representation of my journey. The focus is primarily on the substances I consumed during this period. As well as my level of happiness ( which of course if not only related to my substance abuse )
It’s now been 1 year since I’ve almost entirely stopped all forms of consumption, and I find myself at the beginning of a much better phase in life. I felt it was the right time to reflect and share my progress here.
**To get to the heart of this message, I’ve illustrated my addictions on a scale:**
0-5: Non-problematic use
5-10: Problematic use with an impact on daily life
10-15: Obsessive use
**I’ve also added a happiness scale in the background (in transparent green):**
0-5: Depressed / Unhappy
5-10: Moderately happy
10-15: Very happy
Utoko on
cause and effect would be nice to add. Also you never fully stopped of just too short of a timeframe?
