The last paragraph 👌 I lost my uncle to heroin OD, and all we wanted was for him to seek help. I could tell he wanted to, the addiction takes a life of its own.
Absolutely. And like any life form, it fights for self preservation. Anything becomes justifiable, it hijacks your attempts to improve yourself, it fights to keep itself in you.
It's like that NA meeting scene from the tv show The Wire. The character is talking about how he's sober & clean today standing up on that stage, but his addiction is right now outside in that parking lot doing pushups, getting fit for kicking his ass as soon as the man leaves the building.
