My father has been an addict of many substances my whole life in and out of jail,
He abused my mother and after an incident she was prescribed morphine which started a 10 year opioid addiction resulting in fentanyl use, She’s now 3 years sober!
my step father was a casual user until he broke his back and started using consistently (don’t know for sure what but it ended up being ketamine and fentanyl at the end of our relationship with him 2.5 years ago)
3 weeks ago he passed alone in a public bathroom of an overdose.
this is obviously a lot and not all that has effected me as obviously we went thru abuse and homelessness aswell as accidental consumption, however i still view what i experienced as positive and believe i have a much broader view on life than many people.

What is your favorite type of cheese?
Does it change your view of using certain pain medications that are addictive?
Does addiction run in your family at all?
Have they ever tried to offer you to use?
Do you have any fond memories of your childhood?
My parents were addicts too, I don’t necessarily see my childhood as positive, but I am grateful for the way I grew up too. When did you realize your parents weren’t typical parents?
Tell the story of the accidental ingestion.
Whats your favorite type of cake?
Do you feel hated or rage toward your mother? Do you blame her for her addiction? You sound proud of her, that’s excellent. Did you need to forgive her and if so, how did you do that?
*hatred, not hated
Are you and your friends all sober or are you also into alcohol or other substances?
