Hello everyone...I'm new here and I don't really know any of you. But I've read a couple of the posts and I just wanted to share something that I believe, and perhaps others believe differently, but that's okay. I just want to share how I feel..
I'm the daughter of 2 drug addicts who have been and perhaps will be drug addicts for their entire lives. They may lose their life to their addiction, although I certainly pray not! And I've known so many people who already have.But I don't believe their is any such thing as a lost cause. I really don't. I hear that so much, and I just really dislike it. I believe everyone can change, and I've never given up on any of the people I've known and I never will. There are people in my family who always make it a point to say "Your mom will never change. Don't mess with it anymore." But that is so selfish. I could never turn my back on either of my parents during a time when they need me so badly. Nor would I for anyone else! There have been people I've known that I really don't like, as a person, but I never considered them lost causes, because I don't wish anyone a life as horrible as that for ever. Addiction is a disease and they need help. It's like cancer patients. Doctors sometimes say "It's cancer, there's nothing you can do, it's a lost cause". But it's not...You have to fight and people have to be on your side to support you so you can fight it. Concerning my parents, there's no doubt that I don't like what they are doing, and it hurts me soooo badly they don't realize, but that is never a reason to give up! This is one reason i feel this way about that statement. Years ago, when my dad used to abuse my mom, there was one night in particular that he beat my mom sooo badly, a friend of her's told her to "give up and let him win"...if she would have done that...I wouldn't be here right now. She was pregnant with me then and if she wouldn't have had the courage to fight back and not let him win, not only would I not be here, neither would she.
I just wanted to share that with all of you...If someone tells you you're a lost cause, don't believe it, because no person is! If you have the desire to change and get help, then that should show the person that they are wrong!
Goodnight everyone! Sweet dreams and I pray for all of you the best of luck in beating and overcoming their addictions, their trials and tribulations and everything else tomarrow!
