I have seen

I have seen a lot of things in my 31 years of life. I have seen people addicted to drugs, to sex, even to food. My first husband was addicted to any drug he could get his hands on. That was one of the many reasons we got a divorce. The other was his lack of faithfulness to me. Let me tell you, the only thing you can do for a person that is addicted is pray for them and tell them you are there for them. You can't change them. They have to be willing to change themselves. I have seen people hit rock bottom and I have seen people that hit that level pull themselves out of it. I have seen women that were so hard up for something that they pawned their own children just to get what they want. I have seen anger that was so bad that it almost killed them. I have seen people steal, lie, cheat, and hide. I have even seen a person that could not stop themselves from wanting food all the time. I watched a friend of mine blow his own head off. I walked in on a friend slicing their wrist. I have been to places that made my skin crawl and the smell made me pass out. I wish I could wash my eyes out. If I have not seen all that I have seen then I would not be the person I am today. I thank God I am still alive and able to help my friends out as much as I can. I have been there too.
