Didn’t see the effects until someone told me about them

I didn’t think that I was being affected in the way that everyone was talking about. I guess I thought I was the exception to the rule, sort of isolated from the consequences of my actions. But I wasn’t. I noticed I had little to no motivation to talk to people and an overwhelming urge to go to my room and stare at my phone for hours (knowing that’s always how relapses start). It’s definitely real, and definitely negatively effecting my life. Pray for me brothers!
