Man these addiction stories are hard to read.
- eddiequinn 4y agoI'm not going to get into specifics of this, mainly because they aren't my stories to tell, however I do allot of work with addicts to help them to recover. You would be amazed the amount of people how do something similar to this. They get past the first week (typically the hardest part), and because they can see the light at the end of the tunnel they assume they are "cured". They then relapse to celebrate. Usually it takes several attempts for someone to understand that the voice telling them that they are cured is still just the addiction. It takes even more attempts for someone to understand that you are never really "cured", because the fact is drugs are awesome, more awesome than life itself. That's why they're so dangerous because logically why would you'd choose life in that scenario (esp if your life is already pretty crap) Quitting an addition is difficult - but staying clean in the long term makes the quitting part look easy
