I hear you.
Addiction corrodes everything good in life sadly, that’s why it’s so heartbreaking whether you are a son, daughter, husband, wife, aunt, uncle – it really doesnt care.
It’s such a shame as finding employers who are understanding is like gold dust, even they have a limit.
You have to remember most normal people do just that, get up, work, pay their bills etc.
I’ll never forget years ago I was staggering home after bingeing on drugs a night and there was a guy just washing his car at 8 in the morning. I’d have given anything to swap places with him and do something normal. That’s something I never forget when I’m doing basic things like that today, as silly as it seems
