Drug Addiction? Please read ;<3
If you're reading this please know there's a meaning and feeling behind each of these words.
we all lose people we love at some point in our lives, we lose them no matter how much we love them, how old they are, whether we just saw them and they were fine or maybe we made the mistake and never took the time to see them when we should of.. either way the people we love can leave us at anytime and the thing is when they're gone they're gone and there's no way we can bring them back..
I lost one of my friends on March 7th 2013. He was only 14.
^
these 14 words just broke the tears my eyes were filled with. I miss him more than anything, and i know there's nothing i can do to bring him back no matter how hard i beg, plead or i cry. there's nothing i can do.. But i know his death could of been preventable.
He was struggling to fully recover from his drug addiction.
He passed away suddenly at home.
When it comes to death, people instantly take the negative but i'm content with the thoughts that he's now in his ideal happiness with out the suffering of pain from strong cravings, and the struggles life can sometimes bring us. Although, it saddens me to know he never got to live his life to the fullest, he never got to get married, he never got to have children, or to see different parts of the world, to experiance the wonderful feelings life can give you when you reach a certain age and that he's no longer here for me to simply even talk to, or see..
I may not be able to plead for his life back, but i can beg you.. if you do any kind of drug; consider the effects you're placing not only within yourself but also the people around you.
Life is a delicate thing, and if you're a drug addict and refuse to quit no matter what people tell you that's your choice, and that's ok but please keep in mind the people you love no matter their age could one day leave you forever.. and you too will be unable to do anything to bring them back.
"Make everyday breathtaking and once of a lifetime. Some don't realize tomorrow isn't promised; it's a privilege." -Christopher Lien.
"To anybody who has struggled with a disease called Chemical Dependency is reading this, you're not alone. Trust me, I'm 14 years old but drugs made me do horrid and despicable things. I was human without a soul, just relentlessly beating my body with poison. If you're currently struggling with addiction and if your life is unmanageable, just take a seat and think. Just think about where you used to be and once had eternal bliss. Chemical Dependency robbed you of everything you were blessed to have. I'm a recovered drug addict, 4 weeks and 6 days today. I had hit rock bottom and had no faith in life. I'm in a much better place due to my strive for sobriety. I encourage you to give it a try.. Life is truly more rewarding than we all know. I'm here for support, always. Much peace and love." -Christopher Lien.
"I have a million uses in me just waiting outside for me to start contemplating on going back to drugs again. But I don't have another rehab in me; these cravings are tearing me apart." -Christopher Lien.
"Take a moment in silence for the still suffering addicts. For the addict that will pick up for the first time; or the addict who will die tonight. God, grant me the serenity to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Peace, love." -Christopher Lien.
"When my day comes, just promise you'll remember me. Judge me for my intentions and not my past." -Christopher Lien.
"I just wanted to be somebody with a purpose", not a drug addicted 14 year old." -Christopher Lien.
"Faith is the only thing stronger than pain" -Christopher Lien.
; I know your struggle through addiction was tough... And I respected you becoming clean, i'm so sorry you have to pass away so young. I have never met anyone so bright, strong hearted and charismatic as Chris. Anyone who knew him would say the same thing. He was naturally talented to anything he put his mind to. He had a gift for making people want to be around him. He was inspiration and he inspired me.
You are free'd from the chains of addiction now, Chris.
Rest in Heaven ever so peacefully.
