Guest Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 The toughest challenge on the road to recovery regarding an illness or an addiction is to admit you need help. The shame and guilt that stems from these things will make you push people away because you don’t want to be a burden. Two years ago, i started using cocaine and it led to a depression and eventually took over my life and i lost everything i cared about - and I blamed it on a woman I loved, and everything around me, work, being a single dad, and everything but me. But because I reached out, I managed to make the changes that I needed to and that took me a year. Now I am trying to repair the trust in a woman who may or may not be bipolar, and show her that I want her back in my life and that we can solve anything. So this endeaver continues daily and I know I will succeed in one way or the other - either just earning back her trust or simply supporting her from a distance. Link to post Share on other sites
