Spiraling down into the land of who gives a blankety blank

Desensitized, Demoralized and Dehumanized


(I wrote this about meth addiction, but honestly .. addiction is addiction is addiction ..)

Meth is known to some as the "Walk away drug" Mother's and Father's walk away from their kids, husbands walk away from their wife's visa versa ..

What started out as 'partying' turns into an ambush of oneself .. obviated by meth the addict falls further and further away spiraling down into the land of who gives a #%^& .. the more you use .. the less you care .. We are pulled further away by the force of our addiction and the need to feed it .. its a gotta have or die without situation ..

With each hit .. a lil more of ourselves diminish along with all that we once had .. it all falls prey to the addiction .. as the addiction progresses it shows its face in our workplace, home life .. we begin to lose our ability to function as a 'normal human being' and it shows in our everyday life's and dealings with employers, spouses and loved ones ..

In time we lose the ability to work or hold down a job .. we lose the desire to be home with the spouse .. where the kids are concerned .. honestly 'addicts don't have no time for kids .. regardless of the fact the addicts role is mom or dad' .. Children become bothersome to the addict and represent far to much responsibility and are high maintenance ....

The ugly truth is We wanna use in 'peace' not be bothered by kids .. We ain't got no time for no kids. Addiction is 100 elfish .. and the more the addict has to give time to you and the kids the less he has to do his thing ..

The more he/she has to put out to work, bills, family time .. the less he has to invest in his addiction ..

The addicts main focus is to get high .. anything that requires anything else of the addict .. becomes a sore spot and a nuisance .. spouse, gf/bf, parents and yes even 'the addicts own kids'

Again .. the more we use the less we care .. we lose jobs, vehicles, homes, personal property and belongings right down to loved ones . all gets left in the wake of our addiction ..

Meth desensitizes, demoralizes, and dehumanizes us ..

Striping away at us little by little the person everybody used to know and love ... has faded away and disappeared, but the stripping continues to the next level and doesn't stop.. until we've lost all our freedom, sanity and worse case scenario some even lose their lives ..

This drug has no limits and calls for 100% absolute loyalty from its users ..
It takes what it wants and leaves nothing ... but a shell of what once was.

Unless the meth user seeks 'true' recovery .. there are no happy endings

Thank you.

Been wondering where you were. Been praying for you all and Dakota.

No matter the substance... or the addiction... be it co dependent addiction or drugs or alcohol.
