Willpower.. that is one thing I never had when I was an addict. When the drugs weren't in the house and someone would say, wanna get some dope? I said no. But no one ever listened to me anyways and went and got them.. I couldn't say no once they were in front of me. The temptation was there and I was weak. Pretty pathetic excuse huh? Yeah I was a wimp. Unfortunately my ex was and still is a manipulator and a jerk. He knew my weak points and pushed them for his own benefits. He still does except is has nothing to do with drugs anymore. .
I have talked to several people who says their purpose of relapse is because the temptation is ALWAYS there. I understand not everyone can just up and move away like I did. That is when exercising willpower is an absolute must if you want to succeed. You have it in you to turn it down. If someone brings it home, make them leave! Don't fear your friends turning on you if you tell them no. No drugs are worth saving a friendship. ..no real friends will turn on you for helping yourself.
