    To anyone currently fighting their demons out there, I know the battle. I fought with my demon since 15 after an accident and was prescribed opiates. It took me to a dark, lonely, and depressing place. I know the struggle and how hard it is on the ones you love, You're not alone. It took me 8 years to get that demon out of my soul and back to the ones I love. I still fight everyday so it doesn't return. We can do it. Believe in yourself and accept help from the ones you love. I promise its better to have people that care than be alone in a room with only a needle by your side..

      Yours was written 3 years ago, but I feel it today. I've had that demon on my back for over 12 years now. It's agonizing, slow-burning, daily hope to not go through those wd's. I am trying to break free on my own. It's dumb not to lean on anyone, but everyone in my life would just use it for ammo and I don't want to be that guy. Never stolen or done anything low key for it. Only ever spent my own money on it, but now I found the love of my life. We've been together over 3 years and she thinks I kicked it. Not completely. Still a daily dusting to keep the demons at bay. They can be very persuasive. I know I can lean on my fiance, but the thought of disappointing her figuratively burns cigarette holes in my heart. I want nothing more than to be the man she needs me to be, but I'm at like 40% on a good day and she deserves me at my very best because I don't deserve her at all. So, all who see this, lean on at least one trustworthy person. Don't be like me or you're gonna have a bad time. That person will not let you down. If you need help, be strong by being vulnerable.

      Bro u want to make the right choice now and not make my mistake continuing the lie and losing her.
      TELL her RIGHT after this being read from one addict to another who lost everything. Literally.
      You can still fix this rn cause you admitting it now and not hiding it even IF you keep struggling to get off it and keep using for another 2 fukl dark red-blooded painted years from now cause shits not simple as stop and be fixed.
      You will have a chance at saving yr once in a life time gift that honestly if you choose to ignore my advice rn and do what I did. You will lose her and honestly she deserves better anyways if that's the way it goes, right?
      Want to give her yr 100 percent starting today Instead of just 40 percent?
      Tell her right fucking now man.

      But what do you do when the person does not want help. And they destroy your family and won't face their mistakes but keep blaming you for everything?

    • @armandduarte4193
      @armandduarte4193 3 года назад +1

      @@Elfeckin you let them be. They aren't ready to change. Tell them to get help. And pray for them. You can't force somebody to stop using. They have to come to the realization themselves.

    I shared this song with my nephew when he was finishing up rehab. He was clean for 16 years, got a degree, got married, bought a house, had a baby. The marriage fell apart, but he had a new girlfriend and seemed happy and I had no idea he was struggling. He just got out of rehab last Monday He was found dead of an overdose on Saturday. He was a wonderful human being, loved by many and will be sorely missed.

      We all just have a hard time with our hurt… somewhere along the way, we never learned how to properly deal with our hurt and feelings, so we find a quiet way away from everyone to numb ourselves so we don’t have to carry our overwhelming pain… We don’t want to cause hurt to anyone, but end up causing everyone and ourselves a lot of hurt… And most the time are oblivious to it… Watch the people around you who are always laughing and joking, these people are the ones who are ALWAYS hurting the most inside… It’s a coping mechanism, we don’t know any other way than with forcing a laugh or smile or numbing ourselves when we are alone…. A lot of us sometimes end up trying to hard to escape that hurt and end up freeing ourselves of it unintentionally… Sorry for your loss, I’m sure your nephew didn’t mean to bring sadness to you and everyone who cared about him.

    I know that this song is probably dedicated to someone who is addicted to actual drugs. But when I was going through a dark period in my life, this song struck hard and saved my heart. I believe this song portrays drugs in numerous ways. Anything or anyone you become addicted to can easily become your drug. That's what it represented to me.

    To my step dad who gave me so much love... And now, he isn't here with me anymore. If he ever sees this, I just want him to know how much I loved him.. Thank you for making me so happy, even if it was for a short time. Thank you for being a father figure I never had, loving me unconditionally. And I hope, for your sake and everyone's, you find yourself and realize you were amazing... Without the drugs. I love you,... dad.

    To my love. I wouldn't trade the time we've been together for anything. I know you chose them over me I just want you to know, even if we don't end up back together in the end I still love you unconditionally and I know you're strong enough to get through this. I feel like there is nothing I can do to help you because you can't save someone who isn't ready to be saved. Even with you're dark sunken in face and emotionless eyes you are still the most perfect thing I have ever seen in my life and whether you like it or not you always will be. I love you so much. I don't think you'll see this but if you do I just want you to know I have faith in you...

      Going through a similar situation with my husband - Meth ... I was in denial for a while, but it's truly true you cannot save anyone not wanting to be free :( Hope you're hanging in there - It's only been 4 weeks of torture for me, but I'm hoping for a turn around.

      My husband is in prison for the second time because of meth. Ive dabbled in every thing but the addiction is something I dont get. It so heart breaking. Its like its possesses them. I Will forever love my husband but he's chose dope every time. Everyone in my life around me really has..... He's been gone this time for a year and he gets out January 3rd. And I'm so scared. I wanna believe in his sobriety i wanna believe that he can overcome this horrible disease. But I know I cant compete with the drug.... I just hope his life and future means something to him..... If he fucks up again he will be gine for a long time. And i don't think I can live with that. He is my everything. He's all i got. Im so sick of dope being the mistress.....
