Addiction is weakness. You have to be stronger than your opponent. I've had friends with various issues. Many of them have been beaten by the bottle.
A while back, a coworker suggested I try a new substance. Figured I'm tough, it would be a one time thing. Gave it a shot.
It was different than anything else I had experienced. Had to have more. Was managing it pretty well, but now it's become a problem. It's a daily thing now. Am doing it at home and at work.
Tonight, I did it in front of my wife. Guess I've lost all control. My body is starting to react to it poorly.
So, there it is. The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem.
I feel better.
Thank you.
