Hi Hulalea,
Yes I can agree that a that the decision making process while using is not great however I guess I am speaking of my own experience and for me I was high when I made the decision for myself and for my kids to not use again...I will not sit here and say I am totally recovered no where near that point WILL THERE EVER BE A POINT THAT I CAN SAY THAT....I DON'T THINK SO! I don't believe this addiction will ever go away! not in weeks or years but I am making wise decisions for me and the kids right now. Like I said every one's situation is different I have read many here that are very much worse than my own. I never blame anyone for what I have done or the decisions that I made in the past nor do I expect anyone to give me a pat on the back for being clean 18 weeks I do that myself every single day when I get up with my kids and I thank God that they are still here with me today...because if my actions didn't stop I believe that they would have been taken from me. I had friends turn their back and walk away from my husband and I....and I know why they walked I have them back in my life now and its great I messed up and missed alot. In no way do I want to come across like I am minimizing this drug you are right it is "evil" and one does become "possessed" while on it. I am just saying that in my situation I made a wise decision for myself while I was using the decision to stop and if my family just gave up on me there is a good chance that today I would still be using,my kids would be gone or I could be dead. I am glad they stand behind me. and didn't give up HOPE. I have a strong family background I know there are many out there who don't. To me standing behind someone does not mean you have to put up with all the lies and manipulations just simply being there when the addict is ready to quit is enough even if you have heard it before. Everyone's rock bottom is different, some worse than others. Today I am 18 weeks clean I HOPE I can say one day I am 2 years clean but I believe I will always be recovering ....never recovered! For years I talked the talk about quitting, Had good intentions!!!!!!!! Today I am walking the walk and putting forth every effort That I have to stay clean for only me and my kids one day at at time!!!!
Please know that I understand exactly what you are saying I just believe that for some addicts there is hope for them and when I am giving my point of view or advice I'd like to think that from what I have experienced maybe it could help a mom or dad,brother,sister,etc. to have some hope for their loved ones...some of them do come around.
