As someone who loves someone with an alcohol, pills and meth addiction, drug and alcohol addiction is brutal. My sister has been in and out of treatment and is 55 years old. I've seen her at her best, clean and sober, happy, productive and content and I've seen her as she is right now, spiraling out of control, homeless, angry and scared to death of withdrawals. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. Please be your own best friend and take good care of yourself and don't let anyone get in the way of your sobriety..
