Lessons I learned from loving a drug addict

Editor's Note: At the time they were teenagers, 29-year-old Alicia Cook lost her cousin's overdose. She often wrote a detailed explanation of the painful journey column, she hopes her story can save at least one life. Today, she wrote drug addicts of feelings of love

But love the attempt, you see me in the eyes and see if you can tell me you are not addicted to fix them

I love addiction cans and consume every thought of you. Looking at all their physical, emotional decline, you become the most exhausted insomnia

You appeal that they are and stand on the door of their bedroom "just want them to come back." If you see, someone you love disappears before you Started to dissolve

The reason why you focus on your family's time actively addicted, they seem to be not very concerned about yourself, especially since your focus on the happiness of your beloved people Direct impact People who do not receive it will not understand

These people are not angry. They do not understand. They were lucky they do not understand. You do not understand yourself You can find what you want

"If you want to know what you have to wake up, do you die today in your family day after day?" Question is popular, fewer rhetoric It will be

It makes parents longer than their children's lives. It can imprison and lead to homelessness. That sisters will mourn for their brothers and sisters. It will never see your aunt niece will connect. This can happen in the absence before exiting

You talking and talking about when you walk, but in fact it is that you are losing them before they actually bow to their devil and if they can not find recovery they can not avoid it

Drug poisoning connected to the family worried to ring the sounds knocking on the phone and the door. It leads to a blurred OB report. I read the newspaper and listen to the news after that, which is terrible. "Sudden death" has officially become OB Sue - so "Death due to overdose of drug for another young man."

Drug poisoning leads to the bedroom and social media as a celebration of the site. This leads to "yesterday" more "tomorrow." It can lead to ruin of things, like a law, trust and housing

Because prayers are sometimes the only thing it does, drug addiction leads to increased statistics and knee lowering

People have ways to trust people suffering from addiction disorder. They called them "little garbage", "drug addicts" or "criminals". Addiction is sick. Addiction and family wishes

You will learn about drug addiction and indiscriminate. It does not matter when drug addicts come from a loving family or a broken house

If you are religious, you are addicted to medicine and care. You are a student or school dropout, a drug addict, if you do not mind. Addiction does not care about the race what you are. Drug poisoning will tell you, making decisions and mistakes in judgment can change the whole process of life

You learn that medicine hates addicts of love. You will begin to accept that you need to work and isolate these individuals

This is the use of people, not drug addicts. I steal to support their customs, but they are not drug addicts. It is not that a vulgar family man spits drug addicts. This is not a lie, but a drug addict

If you are a drug addiction, this is the only small picture, that your addiction has an impact on those who love you. I love you, I can not help you, I will not tell you that you have sickness, but if you can not find a better reason to make yourself happy, I will tell you, you will not tell you that you are selfish. Because they have the next most beautiful grounds, people will get better. If you are a lover of a drug addict, I would like to know if you are not alone. Also, I do not want you to know, you feel the most favorite anger and guilt of your addiction. If you resemble me, I know they hate to see them from more love and despair than you hate them. The fight against addiction

For the moment, I think it has nothing to do with drugs and drug addicts. In most cases, people in my life love, productive members of society, healthy and happy. Some of these people are AA, I was always great success and happiness through the program, which supports one for my work. To me it's almost impossible to imagine back to the past, but I feel a complete connection. Fifteen years ago, I did not allow addictive diapause in my life that made a conscious decision. I cut a part of himself. I have chosen to pursue life, health and all the above-mentioned happiness because I do not love myself and others unless I say "I am addicted to drugs" in words.
