Addiction struggles?

[Avsha531]

I lost my sister to pills a year ago.

My daughter has relapsed from shooting up Meth countless times.

Just like y’all, I have many stories and hard emotions. If addicts only realized a fraction of the pain that loved ones go through along with them, they may reconsider what they are doing.

Thank you Helon and Craig for having the courage to share your struggles.

Hey Reinz, can't imagine what you went through and are going through here, I can certainly relate and my heart goes out to you.

One small thing I would like to point out that may be helpful to you, sharing from my own personal experience. An awareness and understanding of the pain they are causing others will not deter an addict from using. On the contrary, the guilt of it can keep the addict using even more. The disease of addiction is cunning, baffling, and powerful. Logically, it makes no sense. A person in active addiction doesn't understand why they keep destroying everything around them, but they have no choice but to keep doing it until they either die or a miracle happens for them. Just felt the need to share that, in sure after what you've been through with your family you understand.

Keep up the good work Helonwheelz, one day at a time
