Do you know what I mean?
And for mothers out there, you know, I want them to know you're not a piece of shit.
You're ill.
You're sick.
And that is how I let go of a lot of my guilt and shame.
You know, I was sick.
That it is an illness, yeah.
A lot of people say, oh, I do it in the first place.
You know...
Yeah, and it may have been a choice to begin with, but that choice is taken away from you at some point and it's not what people think it is.
They're not using because they want to use.
They're using because they can't fucking stop using and you're not in a good place.
I would tell them how it is, straight to the point.
You take crack and heroin.
You will be selling yourself at some point.
I would just tell them the exact reality of what actually addiction is.
A lot don't make it out alive.
That's the reality of it.
I just want to say to anyone, if anyone is listening to this that is struggling, that there is a way out.
And yeah, I have been where you are.
