Drug Addiction and the Pain Inflicted on My Family?
Question by : Drug addiction and the pain inflicted on my family?
i come from a very well rounded “normal” loving family that has given me everything i could ever ask for.
i love them. i would never want to do a thing to hurt them.
in fact all my life i let my sisters and brothers get what they want, i never complained, i truly don’t care about myself i just want everyone else to be happy.
so this is why my 9 month addiction to meth has left my family and myself so hurt by each other
im 21 but i still live at home with my little brother and parents.
they can’t fathom how i could possibly ever do meth again, want to do it again, or even look at it again after the way i’ve seen it hurt them.
and in turn i feel like they’re KILLING me by saying that.
i don’t know why, i have no idea why, but seeing them cry.. yeah i feel horrible, yeah it’s EXTREMELY hard to watch… and yes i will go out that very day and do more meth.
to me the best comparison i can come up with is telling someone to stop eating anything that tastes good… only lettuce..
if they don’t eat just lettuce then they must not love you…
i bet you that person would crack and eat something tastier within days.. regardless of how much they love you.
but still that comparison doesn’t feel quite right and i do feel like i should stop what i’m doing FOR my family. i should want them to be happy more than myself just like i do with everything else so i should be able to stop.. so why can’t i?? 🙁
and how can i make them see that i DO love them.. more than anything in this world..???
My Boyfriend Has a Drug Addiction!?
Question by valerie: my boyfriend has a drug addiction!?
i just found out that my boyfriend has been doing meth every weekend. he has always had a problem with meth long before i got with him. but he told me he would get help. i thought he was doing ok, though he did it every once in a while i thought he was starting to try. i have already left him once for this and he said he quit and i really thought he did. i think he did for a while but he decided that since he had been doing good that it was ok for him do a little bit. he thinks doing a dime is not a big deal.
i really need some advice. we have been together for a year and he just wont stop. i want him to go to rehab but i dont know how to talk him into going. i live in fort worth texas, so if anyone knows of a good place for him to go or if there is a way to have him taken by someone else where he has no choice, please tell me, im so lost.

Answer by starlight_940
Drug addiction is a chronic, progressive disorder. It is characterized by cycles of abuse, decreased use, relapse and more abuse. For an addicted parent, the day revolves around the
need to procure and use the drug of choice, and then to recover from its affects. Important activities — familial, social, occupational — are given up or reduced because of the substance abuse. For these parents, the responsibility to protect and sustain their children is less important than the parent’s need for the euphoria produced by the drug.
