Addict

People keep pointing the finger and declaring, "That person is an addict! Why would you spend time with them?"

It is a knife stuck deep within me.

Because I am an addict

Always will be.

I know the struggle.

I know how it feels to relapse.

My issue is that so many have a stereotypical idea of what an addict is and judge accordingly.

When I call them out and say, "But I'm an addict" they proceed to tell me all the reasons it's different.

But it's not.

I KNOW that the only reason I was able to stay clean so long was because I got pregnant and had children right after getting clean.

Without that, I would have been like others.
