Walk with mental illness and addiction

Walking with mental illness 7

I know the things I just shared with you in the blogs before this one are probably hard to comprehend. I understand. When we get to 2017 you will see why I decided to come out. I told you in my first blog on" walking with mental illness" that people that called themselves my friends would disappear. But I also told you everything I will say will be true. I knew the risk. I am okay with that.  Now Larue Carter ended up being closed down due to unethical treatment of patients. Someone wore a video camera in there and showed it to someone of importance. The patients got nothing but sent to somewhere new. Like dogs. I had already left before they were shut down. And I am Thankful everyday they did.  Well we got through that.

When the whole family is sick the whole family needs treated. I was reminded of how the little things are triggers. If someone goes to rehab the real sobriety doesn't start until they are put back in their environment. Also the color of their room and the old clothes they used to wear. The spoons stuck in the books. Or the paraphernalia they forgot in their hoodie. The smell of the comforter where they done their business. I can take you to my closet and show you the exact shirt I was wearing the last time I got high. So when one decides to go off to get help the first thing that needs to be done is a total redo in their room. Period. Now as far as the rest of the family. There should be an evaluation. Does mom have a problem? Does dad? Does whoever else is in their life? If so ,then treatment needs to begin at a family level. Why should one person carry all the weight and baggage of an entire family? As far as 30 days. It is a start. There are deep rooted issues when it comes to a...
