B2B: How does personal responsibility relate to your sobriety?
Client’s Reply: Personal responsibility relates to my sobriety in many ways. First off I can’t do both. I can’t be sober and complete all of my personal responsibilities. I mean my personal responsibilities include being sober even if they didn’t I still couldn’t. Sobriety and personal responsibilities go hand in hand for me. For example, work is one and if I worked and did drugs, I’d lose my job. So you see, if I were doing drugs it would be impossible for me to complete my responsibilities.
One responsibility that would be particularly hard for me to do while on drugs is being trustworthy to my family. When I’m on drugs I can’t help but be a liar and a thief to them. I always become someone I don’t want to be. I will steal money and lie to my family almost all of the time. I can’t be on drugs and be trustworthy. Another one is being successful. I can’t succeed and be on drugs. I mess up all the time. I start to become someone I hate. I don’t care about my life or my appearance. I can’t keep a son, I can’t keep a girl and I can’t stay happy.
