How Loving Another Addict Wrecked My Recovery

How Loving Another Addict Wrecked My Recovery

I share how my addiction started in university and slowly destroyed my self-worth and relationships. Being rusticated for drug use and backing out of relationships pushed me deeper into substance abuse. Dating Esther and later Mirabel only normalised my habits. I blacked out for the first time, lost my job in Lagos, and watched a friend overdose. Each crisis brought me closer to rock bottom. Meeting Faith at church gave me hope. Her support forced me to face withdrawal and rebuild. Now I’m focusing on mental health and staying single until I’m stable. What lessons have your own relationships taught you?
