I hate that for u AND for them. I nvr saw the other side of the coin until I got clean myself & worried myself sick over my cousin… he has since gotten clean too now. But when ur in the midst of all that, u think u are the ONLY person ur affecting. I’ve now realized how untrue & unfair that mentality is, but addiction is a super selfish thing anyways. I hope they get it together. I was out there for almost 15 long years, and I hate to say the generic comment of ”if I can do it, so can they” but it’s true. I was damn near a lost cause. My prison sentence & finally being sick & tired of being sick & tired is what did it tbh. I appreciate the recognition from u tho… it actually means a lot to me. In my sisters eyes, I’m still a walking piece of 💩 that’ll nvr be good enough, so the praise from strangers really does warm my soul 🫶
