Dealing with my own resentment I just posted about, so I'm there with ya.
We'll get thru it!
Together, WE stay sober
Thanks for the post - I know we are not alone
I have lost loved ones. Two immediate family members and countless friends. One of whom was in recovery before he relapsed and died. I guess to some I can come off as insensitive. Its not that I am insensitive. I am just very accepting of the fact that I can not control or cure an addict. Having grown up in a drug infested, dysfunctional environment has resulted in my nonchalant attitude about drugs and overdoses. It was and still is a common occurrence in my life. We all see newcomers in the rooms who are "Gung-Ho" about sobriety and the next time you here about them its because they overdosed. I guess I fail to take into consideration that most people do not have the level of experience that I do.
