Addiction is not something we can overcome. Its a disease, without a cure. We do our best to suppress it, to keep it to a minimum. We remove ourselves from situations, from objects that may trigger us off. Yet at the end of it all, despite the strongest support from friends and family it just takes everything to line up together in one big curve ball of shit that life throws at you and you see yourself acting out again.

People say they understand, but in fact, they do not. No one understands, except for yourself. But they do help distract you; and point you towards other things in life that you may not have found out by yourself. If you are lucky, these other things may actually be the important things in life. Those are the kind of friends that you should keep then.
