I usually think it’s the opposite when he’s missing from here .. he’s not using – but I know he has been using constantly over the past year as he’s told me so himself, and I think the last time I saw him he was on a missing from his girlfriend at the time! I am just the ‘extra’ bandage so he doesn’t feel as bad and alone! Sad as it is!
My brother is an functioning alcoholic so I kind of understand addiction but I also don’t as I think there’s too much life to miss out on when your either drunk or on drugs!
But like he says he doesn’t see a future and he lives in the past you can’t convince someone that the future will be better as who knows it’s just a circle argument that I never win!
I think the thing that gets me most is the nice things that get said and then the come down is that he meant it but cant do it, I just can’t get that at all!
