> Yes, I understand what you're saying. And I thank my lucky stars for people like you who post back to me, sharing yourself, letting me know I'm not alone in my struggles. And that you allow me to share myself, too.
You are definitely not alone. And I am glad I can be of some help to you. I would be happy if you can get yourself out of your drug dependancy though. Sometimes it is hard to get enough motivation in life to do things for ourselves. At those times, it is helpful to do it for someone else whom you repsect. For me, doing things the right way because I wanted to not let my therapist down was a powerful motivator. Before that I had my father. The next step is to hold myself in that position.IF you believe you are still not at a place where you can get motivated enough to do things for yourself, why don't you find someone who you respect a lot and care about and tell them about what you are working through, and have them hold the standards for you while you get out of your dependancy? You can use that as a crutch for sometime while you work on this and then slowly let go of it.
