The addict in the hole (⚠️ trigger warning ⚠️)

...See more AN ADDICT FELL IN A HOLE and couldn’t get out. A businessman went by and the addict called out for help. The businessman threw him some money and told him to buy himself a ladder. But the addict could not buy a ladder in this hole he was in. A doctor walked by. The addict said, “Help! I can’t get out!” The doctor gave him some drugs and said, “Take this. It will relieve the pain.” The addict said thanks, but when the pills ran out, he was still in the hole. A well-known psychiatrist rode by and heard the addict’s cries for help. He stopped and asked, ” How did you get there? Were you born there? Did your parents put you there? Tell me about yourself, it will alleviate your sense of loneliness.” So the addict talked with him for an hour, then the psychiatrist had to leave, but he said he’d be back next week. The addict thanked him, but he was still in the hole. A priest came by. The addict called for help. The priest gave him a Bible and said, “I’ll say a prayer for you.” He got down on his knees and prayed for the addict, then he left. The addict was very grateful, he read the Bible, but he was still stuck in the hole. A recovering addict happened to be passing by. The addict cried out, “Hey, help me. I’m stuck in this hole!” Right away the recovering addict jumped down in the hole with him. The addict said, “What are you doing? Now we’re both stuck here!!” But the recovering addict said, “Calm down. It’s okay. I’ve been here before. I know how to get out.” Author Unkown I apologize for text size

...See more So after everything i have tried and people i have let down. Including a few on here i am going to quit the hard way which is (for me) dumping the needles and and stuff i have. Now take this as a warning this is a dangerous way to do this due to you never know what things are cut with and your problem may not be the main drug but whatever it is cut with. My cold turkey way can be dangerous and i do not suggest it to anyone but i have failed everyone so this will end one of two ways. Three days we will have a answer.

...See more Hey folks I have been fighting my addiction for many years. I have attempted to sign up for rehabs. In my area they are either full or want huge amounts of money. I have been to hospitals and have been told that I am a disposable human. I feel lost and alone. I have been told that I push people away. Seems that anything I do just makes things worse I even had a supportive friend but in true fashion I messed that up as well. I am very sorry this post most likely doesn't make sense. I am hoping someone else will see this and know the feeling. If nothing else maybe they will not feel alone in they're fight. Once again I am sorry for the Post
