Explanation...

Hello All...I think that I owe everyone an explaination for why I have been MIA, not commenting or posting.   There is a person in my life that I care very deeply for that has a drug addiction that is out of control at this time.  I know there is such a stigma about this disease...and it is just that , a disease.  I tossed and turned last night trying to decide if I should post this.  But if it helps another person , then it is worth it.  It is a very difficult thing to deal with this in your life....emotions run the gamut , from anger, disappointment, fear, and love...yes, even love. It effects your physical  and emotional health to deal with someone like this.....you know what they are like when they are "clean" and so it hurts soooo much when they aren't and become "another" person.  This is why I haven't been around much lately, I just don't have the energy, emotional or physical, to deal with everything, so I have just kinda shut down.  Please, bear with me, things have got to get better.  If you have anyone in your life with this disease, and most of us do, just know that you are not alone. This effects sooo many people in this day and age it is frightening.  Thanks for the shoulder this morning.     Jackie

  3. I know this journey. Battle between supporting and not wanting to abandon but knowing that enabling doesn't always serve the best purpose. I will send you best thoughts and strength. I believe the journey always ends where it is meant to.

  8. i feel you jackie. you shouldnt have to explain but i understand. i've had to deal with drug addicts most of my life, and very most recently someone very close to me. it is SO hard for exactly the reason you stated, you know what a great person they are clean but then they become someone else high and it's just such a heartbreaking thing to go through. i wish you the best sweetie, i know all too well how hard it is to cope with this.
