Thanks. I have substance abuse issues too. With alcohol. I just didn’t know my brother was on opiates. At least drinking is kind of slow and relatively predictable. I wish I would have understood though. If anyone should understand this in my family it would be me. I’m sorry i worry if that’s harmful to say. I feel like I say a lot of harmful things
I’m literally the only family member who isn’t in the hospital right now because I have an early morning meeting that me missing at this point could cost me my job. Because of all the other things I have fucked up at my job this year. But I do hear what you are saying, I just do feel a lot of guilt on a lot of different fronts about this. I know I’m not responsible for the addiction but I am responsible for myself and I found out when I already had been drinking (so I don’t have a way over there even if I wanted to) and I have to prioritize something this fucking dumb like a meeting with a literal zoo so I can hopefully keep my job and not get evicted
People don't understand how broken I am and as a result they think I'm being malicious in some way when really I just don't know how to communicate and act like a normal person.
As someone dealing with substance abuse, *hugs*.
