So, what i wanted to do… is to reach out to parents of addicted children. I thought of addicts to be so weak before i was one. Because, just like you, I had no clue what it was like to be addicted. I said, "why dont you just stop taking the drug… boom done, concsious choice." No, no. For me, i stopped taking the drug i was on which was great. I stopped…. But the side effects are so cruel, even months and months after stopping. Going to work is near impossible. Or at the very least, impossible to even have a nice thought in your head the entire day. That goes for even sitting down in your comfort zone, "relaxed". It’s very likely for one to just HATE LIFE. Just be miserable, absolutely miserable 24.7. Also, it is very difficult to sleep once off opiods. I’m 4 months off my DOC, and i still have sleep issues. And, I know… one little pill out there will SOLVE ALL MY CURRENT miserable problems.

For me, i wish i didnt have to put my parents through my addiction. I couldnt look them in the eye for more than 2 seconds. Believe me parents, we hate seeing you getting dragged down with us. We do not intend to do this. We are just plain caught up in something much stronger than human will. Now, I can only speak for myself. But, I know many addicts feel the same way about their parents as well. We love you.
