Voices and drugs

I have been sober now for 3 years in April. I was doing Methamphetamine and drinking and taking pills. But I hadn't been diagnosed with paranoid sz yet. I noticed that my voices had changed dramamtically as I stayed sober. They weren't trying to ruin my life or sabotage me anymore. So I was thinking that when I was doing drugs maybe my voices SEEMED to want to sabotage and ruin my life because I WAS ruining my life at that time. And now that I am on Lorcet Plus for pain of having a tooth surgically removed I am hearing one voice that is trying once again to ruin my life. I think there is definitely a connection.
