  I spent my whole life in denial of this disorder. Most of it believing that I had failed morally. That I was just a bad person. I am your mother, sister, daughter. I am every person with a substance abuse disorder. We can recover, we are good and we bring value to the world. We can change. Don’t give up, we will have set backs-be kind to yourselves and get up.

  withdrawal is hell on earth. if you haven’t been through it, don’t judge. it’s way worse than you can possibly comprehend

  died before she could get help. that’s so sad. for some reason i lived long enough to get clean. i got lucky because this easily could have been me. took me years of trying to get clean. have 9 years, 3 months and 10 days clean now

  These amount of pressure put on the everyday American person is so overwhelming. I understand why they do it . America needs to stop making life so hard to live and maybe these people will have a decent chance.

  To anyone struggling with addiction you can overcome its grip, don’t give up! <br> So sorry for all the people in this who have lost a friend of family member. Peace be with you and may your loved one now reside with god and the many other beautiful people that are now gone.

  Paying for rehab is a big reason why people don’t do it

  I am a recovering addict. I thank God that I made the choice to get clean for myself and then my family. I also thank God for the VA because they have the resources for recovery. It has not been an easy road to travel, and I struggle everyday with pain, but do not take nor can I take medication for it. That&apos;s what my pain management doctor is for. I will continue to fight my addiction till the day I die, and reach out to anyone who also is clean or wants to be clean. For those who think addiction is a choice, you&apos;ll understand it once you or someone you love goes thought it.
