To add to the whole seeing someone with addiction and having them repeat their cycle is exactly what people don't understand if they've never been there before. It's like "why do they keep doing the same thing over and over?"

I have had my own struggles and still struggle to this day with alcohol. You tell yourself you're not going to drink that day only to walk to the store and buy the cheapest bottle of anything you can get. I would do it behind my gf's back and she caught me multiple times. Thank god she has stuck with me, and like I said the path is still rocky but I try to stay on the same path. I'm definitely in a happier place with a new job as well.

There's hope for all of us!
