Woke up with a heavy heart after listening to sirens all day for the past few days and 3 people passing on.... I have been hearing more and more that drug addiction is a disease and I needed to give my opinion and how I have been in control of my own addiction for over 20 years now..... I hope opening up about my story can some how help someone else overcome their addiction and make better choices.... It isn't easy but it is doable..... HOWEVER it has to be the choice of the one with the problem.. NO ONE could have forced me to quit!! Even if I had promised I would for them or whatever reason I can PROMISE you that the minute I was given the chance I would have done it again.. Its hard to understand the strong desire to have something that your addicted to unless you yourself have experienced the desire yourself.. Its hard to understand the inner willpower it takes to overcome the desire unless it has been experienced yourself... The key word here is YOURself and what we get lost in is the fact that everything in our life is a result of YOUR own choices!!! Therefore the only thing that can change it is YOU!!!
