the truth about addiction

why am i posting this today , why not post this for an addiction awareness day.

well anybody that knows me personally knows im very good with dates and today is the 9th of Jan - the day my mums now husband landed in England and gradually reintroduced her to drugs   

now this post is not going to sit well with some of you and in all honestly i think that's a goof thing , why , because addiction shouldn't sit well with anybody. it is a disease. just like cancer or aids. but of course there is not any grate fundraising events for programs that help addicts recover because there is a stigma attached to it

and to prove my point. i have the best quote about addiction of all time from private practice 

"do you think people chose there misery , 

you think anyone who is not in the throws of a disease would willingly neglect there kids, 

do you think they want to be licking drugs of of bathroom floors

 and destroying there husbands

and taking everyone who loves them , down with them." 

- Jake Riley (private practice)  

addiction kills people and famileys , these people need help not a label of "they where never good for anything anyway , because once upon a time. they where people, with jobs and lives.

so just stop judging a book by its cover

lots of love

Lauren
