My biggest struggle right now wont have to be my mom. I found out a few days ago that she has terminal cancer. My first thought was an overwhelming feeling of wanting to leave and use again. It was incredibly hard to open up to everyone about it. I just wanted to hold it in and deal with the pain the I always did and just drown in my own misery.
I did however open up about it to everyone and to my surprise it helped out a lot. The support I got from all my brothers around me was incredible to me. I had real conversations with all the guys and most of the staff. One of them went through the same struggle as me so it was really cool and helpful to hear about what he went through and how he handled it. This experience as a whole has helped me to open up and build more trust with everyone around me.
