Another first timer.. Just needs to talk.
Hi all -
I came across this webforum recently when I was researching what had become a major issue in my life.. That is my friend/gf who had become addicted to a terrible substance.. I dont know if I am ready to put the entire story out there but just writing here makes me feel better.. We have known each other 8 years and been very close for about half of that time. We have recently reconnected after a long hiatus.. I found out that during that time she had become a daily user and almost lost everything.. Things were good for a while, but the addiction was just too strong in the end.. She finally sought help and I am happy to say that she is currently getting inpatient treatment. I encouraged her to do this every chance I got - but always knew she had to do this for herself.. I am so proud of her - I do miss her so much everyday but I am so happy this person who I love so much is getting the help they need.
Love to you all..
Andy
