A speaker describes relapsing into substance use after the memory of a severe comedown faded within three to four months. He credits Truvada/PrEP as a perceived "green light" that accelerated risky behavior and deepened his spiral.
The part of me just seemed to have forgotten how horrible that comedown was. Within 3 or 4 months later, I was giving it a go again. But what really I think was the unfortunate game changer and green light for me to really begin the downward spiral of this was when Truvada and PrEP came out, that now there was this like green light of safety to go out and do it. This is when I really kind of unfortunately took off.
