I allowed my addiction to tell me that my kids were better off without me. So when I moved back here, it made it easier for me to use, because now that guilt and shame that I had from leaving my kids and my wife, I could sit in that and justify why I use for however much longer. And that was...I haven't stopped getting high since then.
