My name is Andrew. My family abandoned me because of my addiction. Now I am trying to find a new meaning in life
Welcome Andrew.
One new meaning for your life could be sobriety. Make it personal, do it for yourself. The bridges that can be mended will mend and new ones will most certainly open up for you.
But the only road of addiction is destruction - sooner or later - it's a one way street.
Lot's of help and resources here. Don't be afraid to reach out or post away. Be good to you.
