It makes me sad to know that former drug addicts have to spend the remainder of their life making sure that they don’t relapse because if they do, they’re only disappointing everyone who loves them. God forbid something traumatizing happens in their life that leaves their sobriety teetering on the edge. Imagine being sober so many years and it falling apart because of something beyond your control.
Now imagine the people who “love” you the most blaming you for your disease, getting angry when you relapse, throw it in your face in the most vile way possible when they’re fighting with you. I have been struggling with sobriety since November 2007 and prior to February of this year, I hadn’t touched a cigarette, had one drop of alcohol or snorted a line of coke in over a year. Chew on that.
