I think this rings true. It's no secret that addiction and isolation go hand in hand. I know this definitely fits my situation as well as my dad, who was hooked on oxys, lost everything, ended up in his recently deceased mother's home with absolutely nothing in his life except me who was 9 hours away, and his dog. He ended up dying in his sleep. My story of being addicted to weed the last five years partially stems from thar stress, in addition to my own isolation. Lost all my friends in my hometown for unrelated reasons, moved to a new town for college but ended up failing at making friends there, then dad died, met my next bf of two years who travelled 2 wks at a time for work so was still extremely isolated and my weed addiction furthered it. Besides that, I'm the classic case of someone who always struggled making friends, and now bc not only do I think much differently than the majority of society but also suffer from low self esteem, its very hard to convince myself I belong anywhere. I know weed obv makes it worse which is why I'm on my third day clean and will continue bc I know it's the only way. I have a slew if other health and psychological issues that makes everything even more difficult. I'm just thankful for my dads addiction in a twisted way bc at least I never turned to a harder drug since I saw the consequences firsthand. Yet I got myself in an alnost equally shitty situation from just lil ol weed. That's why this video makes so much sense to me. The problem is that I still don't feel like I belong on the playground with the rest of the world. Hopefully once my brain chemistry resets itself and I deal with my issues more I won't feel that way. I hate the way the world is.now as explained in this vid. But I'll leave it at that.
