An Addict will not stop using until they are done. Nothing we can do is going to stop them from abusing themselves, I had to hit my bottom and get tired of being sick and tired. We tend to feel as though no one may care, in my case I ended up not caring for me at all. Today I have hope and have not use since 6-04-1980 one day at a time. I recently have started to go to Nar-Anon. Just had my second meeting last night. In my area there are only two meetings available per week. One in town and the other in another town. Nar-Anon is for family members, or friends of addicts. What did work for me, was when no one would help me. I finally hit bottom and then I still had to ask for the help that I need. When I do ask and am ready then others can be of help to me. I ended up in four accidents and walk with a limp of the right leg and use a cane. I was under the influence and ended up losing control of me. To me my addicton was a living night mere. Today am clean and reasonably happy and have a life that I just could not amagine was every possible. Today I can let go with love, and let my higher power do what he has to do... I feel for one but the guy has to want recovery. If he doesn't want recovery, he will not stop using until he wants to stop.
