But now I am isolating from my friends bc I don't want to tell them what's going on.
I understand what you're feeling. I really, really do. And you are under no obligation to tell everyone you know what's going on.

What I would encourage you to do is share what is going on with those that are really, truly close to you and those you are safe with. Otherwise, you just isolate yourself to the point where you're out there on an island and you've got no one to turn to when things get really, really rough. With the way things go with addiction, that could happen.

None of us are islands, ShineBright. Not me, not you, not anyone on this board. Self-imposed isolation, long-term, isn't healthy.

Think about it.
