You are braver than you know... because you really have taken the first step...again....Congrats!!!
You have admitted that you are addicted... you know the steps to take... and you know what it has done or is doing to you and the ones who love you....
The truth is the ones who love you ( and trust me I know this for a fact) can talk, plead,beg, yell scream, cry and throw the guilt of " do you even understand what you are doing not only to your self and the ones who love you the most..." until they are blue in the face...but until you want to make the effort to make a difference in your life...it will fall on deaf ears.... that is the meaning of
DENIAL
D.E.N. I. A. L.
Don't even No(know) I am Lying.....
You have to believe that you deserve to be present in your life...
WE deserve to have you present in our life....
Just like Jetrell said... it is sad when it becomes to late....I will share something with you...
My Uncle is in prison for Meth...He was always a pot smoker.. He and my Cousin ( his daughter ) just went off the deep end... and they got involved with the wrong people...
My cousin died in June 2006...and the one thing my uncle said to me is that drugs will only lead you 3 places... "Death, Insanity and Jail.... I was in insane to do this to my life, My daughter is dead and I am now in jail for the next 15 years of my life..."
I am not saying that will be everyones fate ... but there comes a time when you have to make a choice... it will be the hardest choice of your life.. .and it will be a daily struggle.... everyday...
But you will have to choose what is more important.... You..
and sometimes it is only when you realize what you have lost... what you are going to lose.. you regret the those things... you regret that you had people in your life who loved you so much but just could not stand to watch your suffering.... you regret the things you said and did to those who love and care about you just for the sake of getting your next fix....
You know... it is never to late to come back.... sometimes it is just the pride of realizing you have made a mistake, you have hurt the ones you love and the ones who love you ... but making the steps to correct this.. to be humble and say..." man... I messed up... I need your help, love and support..." will alway bring you home to the ones who love you the most with open arms....I imagine that your wife has been very understanding and supportive...![]()
life is to short for regrets.... come back ... we will understand your struggles... we will understand that you will fall occasionally... and we will be right there to help you as you help yourself....
it is a choice.... choose life and love....
