Addiction struggles?

[Reinz]

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

Avsha, thank you for your input.

Fortunately my daughter truly does want to recover. Because of this we have had hours upon hours of talking honestly between us. While I am only a “normie” I believe my daughter has given me great insight into the mind of the addict and the disease. I try not to be judgmental and I try to be more concerned and understanding.

I appreciate your words, spot on and so true.

If I learned anything, it’s that feeding the disease/addiction is THE ONLY priority. Nothing on heaven or earth comes before feeding the disease.
