Oh I get so angry when i hear how these people who abuse drugs place blame on others. It’s typical behaviour of an addict who has no desire to make the changes they need to make in order to stop abusing drugs and live a life free from addiction.
None of you should take any blame, internalise any of the nastiness that spills from their mouths or any other form of abuse. Because that’s what it is it’s abuse!
From experience, I ended up on the floor, broken and nearly didn’t survive the whole ordeal. We were together 22 years until COCAINE came along. Long story short, that drug destroyed our lives, changed an otherwise loyal kind man into a monster. However, I am in no doubt that at any point he could have changed his life if he wanted too. That’s the point, they will only get help when they want too and that’s not an easy pill to swallow. We wasn’t even his rock bottom.
Learn to detach from the addict, respond in a healthy way, as in “let them do what they going to do” don’t invest your energy as they will do what they want anyway! The drug has the power not you sadly. Learn to focus on you – live your life and find peace and then hopefully you will come to your own conclusions about whether or not you want this sort of chaos in your life.
You/ we all deserve better!
