Feeling a bit emotional today and it is okay.
A friend confided in me a couple of days ago that they had started IV meth use; they hadn’t used in a couple days, but were feeling very depressed.
A panic seared through my chest and I urged the person to come to a NA meeting.
“It was just one time,” to which I replied, “One time is how it starts”.
I saw the individual at a meeting and I was happy. That was a huge move for them. Then the person came up to me and said thank you.
That meant a lot.
How we respond to people does make a difference.
