I was debating on posting this because it's nobody's fucking business, but then again, if I don't share, it will not reach anyone who needs it. "It's just Facebook" right?
Who here on Facebook, personally and openly can admit to themselves they're an addict? To love, sex, alcohol, drugs.
You know what I'm sick of, people saying an addiction isn't a disease. Have you ever, honestly watched an alcoholic go through withdrawals? Have you ever watched a pill addict or heroin addict go through withdrawals? 🙋🏼 I have. I'm actually a "full blown" recovering pill addict. 🙌🏼 Almost 5 & 1/2 years clean.
You know, after you became "dope sick", the cold/hot sweats, shakes, puking until you can't breathe.. and then puking up more stomach acid than before, the bodily fluids you can't control and so much more. Let's not mention the family who left you there to suffer because their heart couldn't take it, the mental break downs, the thoughts of saying "fuck this, relapse", getting on more pills because your mental process can't handle what's going on with you, but most of all, the only thing you know that would help you get somewhat better, is the worst for you, the fix.
My home town alone has actually lost more people to ADDICTION than murders, drive bys, and guns alone. But you're so scared of your city? When the only people you should be scared of is, yourself. It only takes ONE drunken night where you're so fucked up, that you'll become addicted, and be in that persons shoes you judge now.
I've watched an innocent successful man, who has NEVER even smoke marijuana in his life before, become addicted to pills due to a back surgery.. which led to heroin. I have watched friends become addicted to heroin because someone decided to give them heroin instead of cocaine. I have watched a childhood friend lay in a casket due to heroin. I have watched another childhood friend admit himself in the ER because he was going to kill himself, because of heroin. I've watched my ex fiancé go in and out of jail, and become a vegetable, because of heroin. I have lost a beautiful family member a few days ago due to heroin because a "man" she loved and trusted got her addicted.
Do I need to say more?
As human beings, we're all addicted to something. Love, sex, alcohol, drugs. Etc.
I've lost enough loved ones and I'm fucking sick of it. My heart can't take anymore. But see that's the thing, nobody can talk about real shit like THIS because "they're all addicts" "They do it to themselves".
How many times have you said you'd be done with smoking, and then smoked again? How many times have you said you were done with that same bad relationship, then went back? How many times have you said you'd stop drinking? Then had another drink? How many times have you said you wanted to stay away from the "hoes" yet still slept them?
Everyone has an addiction, some is just a lot worse than others. Don't judge, help one another. Always be the strength, when someone doesn't have any.
This isn't a sympathy post. It's a post from someone who has been on BOTH sides of the fence, and I'm tired of seeing both sides. #stayclean
On that note...
