The stigma with addiction is an awful one. People don't realize that addicts do not want to steal or manipulate. It's not just a matter of, "If you don't want to do it, then don't." Most adults should understand that life doesn't work that way - yet, here we are. Imagine how exhausting life would be if you had to steal and manipulate every day just to make it through your day. It sounds absolutely terrible, like being in hell every single day - to have to dismiss your own moral code just to survive one more day, knowing that one day all of the guilt and shame from doing it for so long will eventually catch back up to you. I can't imagine living through what some of these people live through. I honestly don't know if I'd survive it.
Thank you so much for sharing your story Dillon. It give me hope for my son who is struggling as well. I met your mother recently and she is so proud of you:)
Please pray for me too.. I'm from a place,a beautiful hill-station called Shillong, India and struggling with heroin too... It's been a long rough road for me..
I wish my mom was as supportive as you my mother changed her number and everything I havnt talked to her in God knows how long :( I need her and her support to get over this hell of an addiction I can do it myself obviously once I TRULY WANT TO but I really NEED my mother's support to be honest I just wish she would listen and understand I can't just stop and be 100% like she thinks there is no withdrawals she thinks I just can stop with no withdrawals at all when I try to explain that's not the case I get called a "bitch" smfh n I got no father he's passed away so I really have nobody except her and I don't even really have her..... Sorry for spreading all the self pitty just wanted to say it somewhere other then to myself.
I’ve never done any hard drugs in my life but this guys story really resonates with that deep feeling of insecurity, love the part about self acceptance - it truly is the way out!
This might sound strange but this guy is handsome. Lol i got the message and i can relate but i was distracted. Some people stop i guess before their looks are ruined.
You are very right friend. He's not only physically handsome. But his honesty and strength to openly talk about his experiences actually puts him over the top!
I'm wondering how people are falling all over themselves? I'm a fent addict and I'm kinda jealous. I don't get like that at all. I rarely even nod out.
"I failed everything in my first semester cuz I never went to classes then I did it again the second semester and I failed them all again".................................ya think ?
