Gday Ironic, I can understand how you feel about your girlfriends terrible afflictions being in a totally different “category� than your own addiction problems, but the bottom line is that drug addiction takes tens of thousands of lives annually and destroys millions of lives.
My wife suffers from anorexia/bulimia, she has been hospitalised numerous times, seen countless therapists psychologists etc. to no avail. It would be very easy to think, “why doesn’t she just eat then all her problems would be over�, but it just isn’t that simple, the reason being.. It’s a very complex psychiatric disorder, a disease.
Same goes with Drug and Alcohol Addiction, it’s a very very serious disease, mental illness, call it what you like, it doesn’t really matter, that destroys lives.
Ps Iv’e been on Suboxone for 6 weeks now after having a 400mg oxy habit, it’s a god send. I’m now more able to care and support my wife instead of just being a burden on her.
All the best to you and your girl
