It’s been a few days since I have had time to sit down a write. Today’s subject is dark, so if you are in a good mood please do not read. So this time of year has always been ver hard for me. Holidays I would alway use because I couldn’t stand to be around my family and family friends unless I was fucked up. Two years ago on that’s giving I overdosed in my car intentionally. I was out for many hours in the local Walmart parking lot. I don’t know what brought be back but by the grace of god I am still here. After I woke up I proceeded to go to my family thanksgiving. When I shot up in the parking lot ours before I hit a nerve in my right hand that it looked like I had had a stroke. My family said nothing and watched me make a complete ass out of myself while I tried to gather my dinner together. This is not being told completely by my memory but a combination of mine and my family’s. So I am and addict and so is my father. My father and mother are still unhappily married to this day. No one would say anything to me when I was this fucked up about anything in fear of pissing me off and me driving away in these conditions killing myself and someone else. My dad blames himself for me being the way I am because of genetics. My bother blamed her self because she enabled me for many years. I myself blame myself. Thanksgiving and the holidays are a rough time of year for addicts. Most likely the addict you know is already extremely depressed and sick of battling the monsters inside themselves.
Do not think your doing something wrong if they push you away. Do not give them money for holidays but rather gift cards or take them for the items they need is your best route in my experience. An addict that overdoses is most likely and addict trying to kill themselves. No matter if they don’t pick up their phone still try to call them. Or stop by to visit them. Being an addict is very lonely. You don’t want to be alone or fuck anyone else over any more but that force to not be sick is so unbelievable strong. The truth is no addict woke up and decided they wanted this for themselves. In all thrush we have big pharmaceutical to blame for this. But pointing the finger at anyone does not make a difference. If someone you love and uses, calls you even if it’s for money don’t get mad and retreat off the phone right away. Try to make conversation with that person let them no that you care but you can no longer enable them.
I have tried to commit suicide by over dosing many times I am lucky I was never successful because I would never want my family to have to go thru that no matter what was said or done between us. Since I am now clean taking the suicide route is so selfish and rude. Especially if you have kids like me yes your child may or may not have another parent but your child needs you. Your child deserves you and the clean version of you. Yes getting sick and going threw withdrawal makes you feel like you wanna die but you don’t actually die! I am now 15 months clean and I wouldn’t give it up for the world. The last time I overdosed I was six months pregnant. I am so lucky no permanent damage was done to me or my babe girl. If you just need someone to talk to comment on here and I will talk to you no matter the time. If me blogging about my shit helps one person I am grateful. Because even though you may not think so there is one person out there that will never give up on you, maybe it’s your mom or Dad, sister or brother, son or daughter, significant other, grandparent, or someone you haven’t even met yet. You will touch someone’s life some day. So please don’t give up on you because I will not give up on you either.
If you made it this far I have one request, Tell someone you care about them or you love them. That your rooting for them whatever the case may be. This world has way to much hate inside of it. We ya humans have way to much hate for other beings even for ourself. So please for me or for yourself just let someone know no matter what you will not give up on them. One wonderful man my grandfather did that for me and even though it took me a few tries and even more slip ups to get where I am I did. When ever I feel myself slipping I hear that wonderful man saying he would never give up on me.
