Addicted

Addiction can have a profound impact on both the body and the people we love.

I should know, I have either lost or almost lost almost everyone I love most from addiction.

I myself have never done meth or heroine.

Nor have I ever had a problem with drinking. I like to drink sometimes and love to go out and have a good night partying, but that's just because I like to be out of control for a second since I'm always such a control freak 🤣 and also because I'm a natural social butterfly.

And well I have four kids, under 8. And sometimes yuh just need a strong ass drink and some bass to drown out weeks and week and of crying whining and fighting from your ears.

But, when you have an obvious problem and need a substance to get thru the day, you need help.

Now I'm not being judgy, I'm not like like whoaaaaa bitch you need Jesus. No you need to own your actions, and habits, take accountability and seek support. Whatever that looks like for your particular addiction, do it.

Noooo don't wait, do it now. Life too short, the shit ain't worth it.

The high. That euphoric feeling that you crave oh so much, can be found in other things.

Plain and simple.

It's all in your head. Literally. Your brain is tricked by the drug your using making itself believe that in order for it to properly function and produce essential hormones it needs it. It doesn't. It's lying to you. And every time you give in to it, it deteriorating you more.

Please keep in mind if someone you love is facing addiction, they actually cannot psychologically always control their actions and behaviors. I know that sounds crazy, but it's actually be proven that addiction to certain substances actually rewires the brain to act totally different than it's typical self.

When someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol, it can cause a range of physical and mental health problems. Substance abuse can damage the liver, heart, and other organs, and can increase the risk of developing chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. Addiction can also lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and can worsen existing mental health conditions.

In addition to the physical and mental health effects, addiction can also have a significant impact on relationships. Addiction can cause people to withdraw from their loved ones, become emotionally distant, and engage in risky or dangerous behaviors. This can cause strain on relationships and can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Family members and loved ones of people struggling with addiction may also experience a range of emotions, including fear, anger, and sadness. They may feel helpless and unsure of how to help their loved one, and may feel like they are constantly walking on eggshells.

However, it's important to remember that addiction is a treatable condition, and that recovery is possible. You are not alone and you are not stuck here. With the right treatment, healing your body from trauma and pain stored within it, love and support, people can overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. Heal their brain and body. It's vitally I mportant for loved ones to seek support for themselves as well, whether that's through therapy, support groups, or other resources.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, it's important to seek help as soon as possible. Recovery is possible, and with the right healthy habits, treatment and support, it is possible to overcome addiction and live a healthy, fulfilling life.
