Funny how when you change, so do your friends!

Okay, so my bf and I are now done with pills, ABSOLUTELY DONE, mind you. My bf is 8 days clean and Im 5 days now!! who hoo!! Well, yes we are on the Suboxone, to help with w/d but let me tell you, this has been a HUGE step for us! So anyhow we are doing great, although I have extreme RLS and we both have headaches from hell. Dont know what to do about that part, but anyhow. So its true, once you stop using - People who you thought cared for you, turn out to be JERKS! Ok so I called up this lady friend of mine who Ive know for over 20 yrs, started buying the pills from her over 3 years ago and she has always been so comforting always finding them for me one way or another. Well, now that we are done (i told her last week to not let us know when things come in anymore) I havent heard from her. So I texted her today, she was a total BIT**!! Real short with me and had nothing nice to say. What the hell is that all about you know? That just really hurt my feelings! But who cares, I dont need her in my life, she was obviously only there for make a killing income off of us anyways!!

You are right, who cares. A true friend would not do that. There have been a couple times I have been offered after I quit by someone that knew how hard I was trying to stay clean, she just didn't give a **** or that she wanted someone to bring down to that level, I don't know. I stopped hanging around those that use or I got in trouble with and it's weird, but I don't really miss them now. I actually knew most of them were jerks anyway, lol.

P.S. I hope you don't stay on the sub too long, hehe.

My situation was a little different, but still hurt the same. I had a very good friend that I trusted and  really enjoyed the friendship.I told her everything about me except my addiction When I was at the peak of my addiction, she suspected something was up. Instead of reaching out to help me like another good friend did, she turned her back on me. Since she never actually asked me about my addiction, I never told her. Come to find out, she actually betrayed me for months behind my back insinuating to others that I used drugs although she had no proof of course. This person as I have now learned is very self serving and can't keep a friend for more than a couple of years. It really hurt me because in her time of need, I was unconditionally there for her. I am very compassionate to those going through hard times. Actually, it is times like this when you can gauge who is your true friend and who is an not. A really good thing did come out of this because the good friends I have stuck by me, did not judge and supported me to the point that it brings tears to my eyes. They are the true definition of what friends are supposed to be. I did meet a wonderful person recently that I don't know  if I could have gotten through all this without her too.The former friend could not hold a candle to her or to the others for that matter. So it  is true... something good always comes from something bad. To my three trustworthy and compassionate  friends..... I love you all. To the self serving heartless b****, I am happy that you showed your true colors. I would not have wanted to waste anymore time on a one sided relationship.

Roxmom... this lady is NOT your friend. She saw $$ signs in you and your boyfriend. A true friend does not enable someone to self destruct.She is self serving also and not worthy of your friendship anyway. Cut your loses and focus on your new life! Congrats on being clean.
