It is quite common for two addicts or alcoholics to find themselves struggling with relationship addiction because co-dependency accompanied by a drug or alcohol addiction is extremely consuming to those involved.

Drug addiction is epitomised by loneliness and isolation. An addict’s drug and alcohol use makes interaction with un-addicted individuals difficult. Shame and guilt and the need to use makes an addict withdraw from society whilst at the same time being pushed away by their loved ones due to their breaking promises, stealing and general antisocial behaviour.

Many recovering addicts and alcoholics speak of their ‘rock bottom’ experience consisting of festering in their place of living for weeks on end with only their best friend to comfort them: their best friend being their drugs and/or alcohol. Finding a similarly afflicted person to share this life of constant drug use and isolation seems to bring a rush of comfort and safety to the desolation that their lives have become.

As someone who has never used drugs, let alone held a cigarette, I have certainly been witness to what drugs can do to a person’s life as well as the lives of those around them who care. The pathway to drug use and abuse can (and often does) start with something as simple as a cigarette. I can remember going to a party at a friend’s house when I was in the seventh grade. Her parents were home and were in the backyard when one of my other friends quietly got all of us to go into the front yard. She then began to hand out cigarettes to everyone- cigarettes that she had stolen from her mother. This was my first encounter with drugs of any kind. Over a decade later, this same person has run the gamut of being addicted to various other kinds of drugs, has been kicked out of her house several times by her parents, and is still doing drugs despite the fact that she now has a two year-old daughter to care for.    Read more...
