I get it now addictions
I get it now. I am A social worker, worked with many people addicted to things and I finally get it. This system is broken, what do you do when you've tried literally every angle for help and used all your tools to cope and still feel like you're not safe? What do you do then? You turn to a drink or an oil that helps you escape reality and gives you relief so you don't feel the pain and feeling like giving up for a moment. Surely that is not a bad thing right?? Are addictions dangerous? Absolutely. But what else do you do when you've tried literally have tried every method and help has not come. It's my only relief, my escape from self harm cos a small part of me hopes this will one day be over. It's hope really and survival. I don't even know why I'm here. I'm probably not in a good place and just splitting out rubbish but that's where I'm at. I'm feeling okay cos I've taken things to take the pain away and for a minute I don't feel the pain, the rejection. Life feels sustainable. I get it now. All this time. These people aren't quitters they have I'm sure tried every turn and this broken system has let them down so they are doing the only job hung to survive and survive is paramount! That is all and how do you fault someone for just trying to stop drowning? Does this make any sense? I don't know, I may not be in the best state and just talking trash but I'm here trying to do my best to stay alive for the future hope of better, future of help maybe? I don't even know anymore, we just seeing what will evolve I guess.
