Its a hard road. People who have not been there, will never know. It is hard on everyone. There was many times that I felt like her death was days away. With the help of family and God, she over came it. Thank you guys, for the words.
Don't mention it, brother.
You're right about this: "People who have not been there, will never know"
I know this to be very true because I had adopted that attitude myself at some point and didn't really understand it.
On the other hand I got to learn the hard way (as I often do) the other side of it when I actually *became* an addict.
It's definitely a tough fight...one that I've battled with for many years.
I haven't posted much about it on here over the years for some seemingly rather obvious reasons, but...it is what it is.
