Odd thing about my substance abuse issues.
Nobody has ever once suggested to me that I have a problem whatsoever with substance abuse. It's like I'm the only one who knows. And when I tell people that I do have a problem; they usually try to tell me that I do not. A few reasons for this I think 1) When I'm under the influence of drugs and or alcohol I'm still easy to get along with and don't have confrontations with people due to my use, nor do I get into trouble with the law. I've actually had two ex girlfriends specifically tell me that they like me when I'm drunk 2) I've made it along far in college. 3).....I'm good at hiding my substance abuse.
I'm the only one who understands all the damage that my use has caused me. And I'm the only one who understands how my use has affected others, namely family; in that I do not keep in contact with nor do I spend an adequete amount of time with them due to my frame of mind and warped priorities.
Just some random thoughts of mine. I hope everyone's having a good night.
