Let me start out by saying, I despise tweakers, junkies and dope fiends. And it's not because you take apart four toasters in hopes of turning the parts into a computer, or because you nod out at your doctor's appointments. It is because you are selfish. Yes, it is a free country and you have every right to live in shambles and pay your cellular bills in dimes but it is not you who suffers the most. Your family, your loved ones, your children suffer. They have to live day in and day out knowing that you are making a conscious effort to separate yourself from the world. I can understand that you have a hard time but you are not the only one. Don't you think we have a difficult time with life too? The difference between us and you is that you chose to be weak. I am no saint, nor am I without sin. I simply accept who I am and love me as I am. I know that your rebuttal would be along the lines of "You don't know what I have been through" or "I just can't stop." My response is that you have to be stronger than that. You have to love yourself and your loved ones MORE than you love the drug.
This is not solely meant to bash your decisions. This is saying that people think more of you than that. If we didn't care about your well being, none of us would speak. We all just want you back. Drop the drugs, the hate, the lies and the excuses. You only live once. Don't you want to accomplish something great before you leave this world? And I'm not saying you're the next President, or that you will become a millionaire. But perhaps you can be that amazing mother you always wanted to be or maybe just the funny guy working at the convenience store that puts a smile on everyone's face. We all have a purpose for being on this world, please find yourself. I think I speak from all of us when I say "We miss you."

p.s. I know this blog is short and I could go on for pages but I felt I should make my points short and sweet this time.
