Wheres someone when you need them? Because I’ve been asking for help for months now, and nothing. Maybe noone cares enough to help. But without help, temptation is easy to give into. It’s tiring to try to do the “right thing”. I might as well go back to my old habits because obviously noone cares enough to try and stop me or talk me through my issues.
You have to want to get better for yourself first. No one can want you to get better and it just happen — if you don’t want it, no one else will want it for you enough to sink in and make it happen. Don’t wait around for someone to save you, start swimming toward the shore and save yourself! There are resources available and people to call. You can call SAFE for yourself and get information. You can talk with someone at school or at church, find someone you trust and keep on going from person to person until someone helps you help yourself.
Recovery is hard. It is painfully hard and it involves facing our past, our present, and embracing our future. We didn’t get to where we are now overnight and we can’t escape all of the consequences of where we are overnight either. Recovery is HARD! It takes time and it takes effort. Only those who are resilient and persisent make it.
If you don’t want to get better, you won’t. If you want to get better and show it, then others will help you help yourself.
