I'm posting everywhere on this site. I've let my thoughts get ahead of me.

This might seem confusing and it could possibly be just my loneliness setting in. But, here's my story.

Earlier this year, I reconnected with an old friend after almost two years. We went to school together and dated an acquaintance of mine. We got close in the end of 2012/ beginning of 2013, and without really thinking, I moved him into my two bedroom apartment with my three other roommates. We never dated at that time, but we both knew there was something just beneath the surface with us. I think our journey officially began when I introduced a line of wildfire to his sinus cavity. I hadn't long started my mingle with the devil. We were soon controlling a small corner of town with our wildfire. Creating business and expanding business. Learning the entire process. Everything is great in our little shit kingdom for a while. Shit goes down, we all split ways. Fast forward to April 2016, I find out I live next door to his parents.
Contact him, invite him over for catch up and movies, you get the rest. He got married in my absence. Separated from her in the previous year because he spent his time with her tweaked and obsessed with a needle. At the end of our day, he leaves and we make it clear to be nothing more than FWB. But, with time, we knew there was electricity. We were the same soul in separate vessels. We shared everything from cigarettes to food to days of intense emotions to days of staying lost in that old familiar smoke. He was still in love with her. But, his words and actions showed me more of how he felt toward me than his anger for her. We were infinite and invincible. On June 1, 10:30pm, we laid on an old mattress tangled in each others limbs and lost in the galaxies in our eyes. We shared sweat and tears. Nicotine and whiskey. Took turns dancing with the devil. Talks of death and meaningless existences soon turned into swapped saliva and pleasure inflicted wounds. He shattered in my arms that night and we vowed 'till death do us part.'

We climbed to the top of our shed kingdom and shares our first sunrise. Found momentary peace and in between sloppy kisses and shared heart beats, he mumbled his love for me.


June 2. Worked and visited with our daughters. Went night swimming with Heaven Hill's not so heavenly taste. Repeated previous night's actions. Replaced to the tears with laughter and smiles that finally reached our eyes. Plans of recovery, raising our daughters together, becoming a family filled the room.

June 3, 3:30 pm. I watch him walk away from our broken down vehicle on an unfamiliar highway with nothing more than a backpack full of paraphernalia, our last sack of ice, and anger. I haven't seen or spoken to him since.



It's been a little over four months now. I've moved from our neighborhood since that day. I fixed the car and then crashed the motherfucker. Traded what was left of it to a decent dealer for a fat sack. I've heard he ended up going back home to his wife. Gotten a better job. I've heard he got clean and their daughters are growing up together. In these four months, I've sunk lower and begun IV use. I've lost my job, my daughter, and mourned the death of a childhood friend; among other piles of shit on my never clean plate.

I'm sorry about the babbling. I just figured I'd share this chapter of my story in hopes someone else would understand. Anyway, enjoy or don't. Whichever gets you off.
 
I don't know of any direct advice to ask for. Whatever advice you're willing to give would be great..
 
Try to find a space for you to be happy, whether it's running or eating icecream... try to find your moments of happiness.
 
Perhaps try getting clean and maybe the rest will fall into place. I find that shit tends to go downhill after awhile in active addiction and then it finally all blows up and all that's left is regret. Maybe if you get your life together you can get your daughter back. At the end of the day isn't she really all that counts?
 
Well, one thing about when things are really bad....sometimes, there's nowhere left to go but up.

Your "June 2" talks of plans of recovery, being a family, raising your daughter. That scenario is completely within your grasp. You don't need that man, or any man to achieve it. But when you have a littl girl out there who's going to need her mom, you've got to take the time for yourself and get yourself on track.


Though I have many years in and out of heroin addiction, it was always IV cocaine that would be my downfall. Once I start that, it's almost impossible for me to stop. I just go until I lose everything. The last time I did that was in 2013...and I lost my job, was evicted, had to have my 4 yr old sons dad take him for a few months (thank God he was able to or I'd have lost him...and he is truly the sunshine in my life every day)...I put myself in detox. Got out and had a heroin relapse, got back on a methadone clinic. Long story short, I haven't used in 3 years. I'm working full time. I have my son. We have an apartment. I have a car. And the best part--my son cuddles up next to me in the evening after work and tells me "you're the BEST mommy". I'll tell you, THAT is a better feeling inside than I ever got from any substance.


Is it easy to get back on track? No. It's not.

Is there a way back from the pits of despair? Yes. But you're going to have to figure out what works for you. I strongly suggest getting away from the meth, be it detox, moving, whatever. That's your first and most important step. Because if you're spun every day you're just going to sink deeper and deeper. Numbing emotional pain only works for so long before it destroys you.


No man is worth throwing your life away, or losing your child over. Ever.

But, you are where you are, and now the question falls to you of what are you going to change? Because doing the same as you are is going to land right back where you are. You posted here--so you're looking for someone to help. I dare say, for someone to tell you what you know deep down....it's time to stop, and go back uphill and come back to life....
