S.O.S. (Stuck On Stupid) |
Apr 14 2008 |
I wonder how long does someone have to be in this type of hostage situation till they realize they need to WAKE UP. I love my husband but I didn't realize till this past weekend that addictsare very very resourcefull and fantastic liars. There has to be some type of class I can take to make me drug smart so I won't keep falling for his BS. I finally broke my silence to inform his mother of his devilish sick distored drug ways. She took it pretty good. I thought that everyone knew but me. However I have learned that they didn't realize he had gotten into HARD DRUGS. They thought as I did he was only doing Mary J. Oh how blind we have all been. I use to laugh at jokes people made about crack heads but I must tell you there is nothing funny about this addiction NOTHING and shame on me and others who have found humor in this awful addiction. It affects way more than the person with the addiction. It can literally tear a persons home down like an atomic bomb. :-(

Have you tried Al-anon. It helped me a great deal when I was young and realized my father was an alcoholic and a drug addict.

I COMPLETELY agree with everything you are saying...it's rather scary how similar our stories are.
About 5 months ago, I was informed by many people in my small town that my boyfriend was into cocaine. He never seemed like that type, so when I confronted him about it, he denied everything. Since I've been with him since the beginning of high school (I'm almost done with college), I trusted he was tellilng me the truth. A month later (and a million lies later) I realized everything was true. He is a FANTASTIC liar. He has the ability to look you striaght in the eye and just lie. He can swear on everything and still lie. When I found out I was hurt, and angry. I told his parents what he was up to. They responded the same way. They told him they were going to drug test him every month and maybe stop paying his college tuition.
After weeks of him crying, begging and telling me he was going to quit...I believed him. Everything was okay until a few weeks ago when I stumbled on the fact that he is STILL doing it. His parents didn't go through with their threats and now are making him go to a counselor. According to her, he is suffering from depression and when he gets depressed he turns to cocaine to "self-medicate" I dont know if I believe that psychobabbly baloney, but I have had enough of his lying and being broke all the time.
I dont know how to react or handle the situation. It's like my world is crashing down all around me. I am angry all the time, probably suffering from depression myself, and my grades are slipping like crazy. Grad school is going out the window.
But I definately feel your pain. Atomic Bomb=perfect explanation. They dont realize that their addictions not only kill them but destroy everyone else's life around them.
