Personally, I went thru all the phases in this article...for 25 years....Nothing worked. It takes a toll on your health and well-being...a sadness that will never go away. Broken families...anger...depression...sadness...all because the addict cannot or will not stop using drugs.
Yes, it's a disease. One of the worst I've encountered, as it lingers on and on.
Surely, faith and Hope...even falling on your knees to pray, is all that some survivors have left for drug addicts..But there comes a time, too...when if all fails...then learn to "let go"....I finally did...but the pain and bitterness will never go away. Because you're always waiting on that "knock on the door" to tell you they have passed away.
Some family members have said..."I just wish she/he would just die!"...but knowing still, the pain would be lingering on and on, not for the drug addict, but for the families that have or are going thru all of this.
Say NO to Drugs!...don't get entrapped. You are not only hurting yourself, but your family and those that love you....rockin'
