An addict doesn't know or want to face the fact of being responsible for hurting anyone else. It's the last topic I wanted to face, I know that. I just thought everyone around me would just go about on their marry way. Oops, big mistake, here's a clue of how many family members become affected.
My mother and father, all my siblings, my wife and 4-children, my nieces and nephews, In my case about 5-6 teenage to adults kids. My employer if, I am still employed. That equates to about 15-19 people. Not to mention others that were praying for my recovery through family request.
But that is just me, there are other people that had huge families. I only want the people out there to realize the impact of addiction to others. That's why there are interventions. My immediate Family tried this on me, it didn't work because I was not ready. I had not hit my bottom yet.
Your bottom doesn't have to be like mine. Believe me when I tell you that the de-tox was hell, but the rewards are Heavenly. I always think about others suffering. I will never forget that time in my life. The new beginning, new sober friends, finding new things to do without using. All the new things that go along with living a drug-free lifestyle.
Thank you, I hope and pray your bottom is up a little higher than mine was
