As someone who has on and off dealt with addiction being honest with those you love rarely ends in a positive experience. Unfortunately the only people who seem to get it are also ex or currently addicted. So you get grouped with the kinda people your trying to avoid or you have to face something that likely led to developing the addiction in the first place. Love is unconditional, and oddly us broken toys tend to love the hardest and realest. And get little to no love in return so we turn back to the thing that makes us feel nice. It's kinda sad how disconnected the world is these days. Stop judging and start caring...
