In my opinion…addiction is the epitome of selfishness. The craving for pleasure over rides the need to mother ones children. I have seen this firsthand and the devastation to small children is profound. Sit down with your sober self (if possible) and think about what I just shared. If not for you…get clean for them!! Every time you stick a needle in your arm ..it is a Choice..every time…you will learn to love and respect yourself when you make a decision to LIVE! Your addiction touches every human on the planet. The ripple effect is huge, and when you turn that around for good…the ripple effect will work to heal you, your children, and the planet.
