Grateful I’m not on meth anymore via /r/gratitude

Almost three years clean from meth and a lot of other substances. I’m most thankful to be off of meth though.

Not having to be around that circle of people anymore is so much nicer. The lying. The stealing. The blaming. I was a scapegoat for so many people that I thought were my friends. They were addicted but nobody knew and I was the perfect patsy to be blamed when their loved ones found their stash. “Oh it wasn’t mine, it must have been hers!” And everyone believed it because why wouldn’t they? My “friends” were just “trying to help me get on my feet again” but secretly using. Such a sick group of people.

It’s sad but I’m also grateful that I was able to see that world through an addicts eyes because now I can fully understand what other people that are struggling with that addiction are going through. I know that it’s important to show support but to also keep your distance.
