I remember When a the word relapse had A meaning . When I’d Explain what it Meant so you can be aware. Told you what tempts me What are some triggers.
I Expected You to View it as a 911 call. To help me when I’d fall.
You never payed mind To the importance of it. Just like you Didn’t think Telling you I had an addiction Was something that bad.
I remember when You Made your own definitions To all the words I’d tell you. I’m the one struggling But you always made yourself the victim when it was me who needed attention, apologize, comfort & to support me.
Temptation & triggers Have no meaning. You never cared to look after me. It wasn’t something you’d have to be 24/7 about. You never questioned your negative actions & how that’ll provoke me. You never cared until
A Relapse Meant I Used because I wanted to get high. Finally You show importance. Not in the way where your concerned if I’m ok & hoping that hit didn’t cause harm. Concerned to where you stood by my side & talked on why it happened & what can we do to prevent it again. instead , a relapse means Talking **** to me , making me feel bad , blaming me, making yourself feel like I betrayed you Feeling so angry saying I don’t love you & love that more. You abandon me & go m.i.a When you were the cause of why i couldn’t handle feeling hurt etc
I remember when Relapsing made me feel guilty & so bad because I failed you & disappointed you.
I remember When I’d tell you I’ll never be honest on my sobriety , confess or hand over paraphinillia . For me to do the opposite of what I swore I’ll never do. All because it killed me to lie & hurt me to see you stress your mind on doubts if I’m clean or not. All For what ? For you To talk **** to me when I confess about relapsing, for you to call me drug addict & insult me calling me Druggie tweaker etc When I’d Hand you things Etc
Me Being honest to you & open with my recovery only Damaged me more. What I gained wasn’t support. It was money being thrown at my face telling me to go get high. Calling me drug addict in many insult full ways. You made a joke out of my struggles. You’ve never been there for me.
How far the meaning & value of relapse once meant.
A relapse now means nothing to me when it comes to you.
Being true to you Only back fired. You use it as leverage To insult me more & have negative things to reply. “I wouldn’t know, you kept it from me before” etc
