We all fall down, so get up now.
So, I have been thinking about this a lot lately. This isn’t a sob story or anything remotely like that. It’s something that I just felt like I need to share with everyone It’s something I needed to get out
Some people see me as being really naive. If you think I’m some naive little kid, haha sorry, you must not know me. I come off as very innocent & naive, because I choose not to engage in things like drugs and alcohol. I have been through many experiences that many people have not been through. I’ve seen what drugs & alcohol do to people, first hand. My Dad is a recovering alcoholic and a drug addict. Yeah, he’s recovering, but he’ll always be one, its like a disease. I actually used to go on “drug runs” with him when I was a little kid & my parents were still married. My Dad’s drug & alcohol addictions were what ended my parents’ marriage. Ultimately, his problems forever changed his life as well as mine. I was old enough when my parents were married to figure out what was going on. My Dad’s choice regarding drugs and alcohol are the reasons My brother & I do not have contact with him right now, there’s a court order. I haven't see my Dad in four & a half years, and can’t until I turn 18 next February.
My Dad has always told me to “please not get into any drugs or alcohol and screw up my life the way he did his.” Alcoholism is in my blood - I have several relatives besides my Dad who have this disease, so I am much more likely to develop it as well. But, drinking alcohol & doing drugs are not for me. It’s not something I choose to do with my life right now. I don’t look down on other people who do things like that, I don’t try to change them. It’s a personal choice, something that some people have to try to realize the consequences.I’m just fortunate enough to have had someone else experience it for me - My Dad. Although sometimes I wish my Dad wasn’t addicted to alcohol & drugs, he is the most amazing person & he has taught me a valuable life lesson from his mistakes, and for that, I wouldn’t change for the world.
Life goes by so fast. You only wanna do what you think is right. Close your eyes & it's past. Story of my Life.<3
