Seriously people have to learn to shut the fuck up

I am going to post again because people have actually pissed me off. People are really saying that Cory or any other person who has died of a drug overdose should not be a role model. I understand people have their own opinion...but seriously??? These people obviously don't know how fucking hard it is to have an addiction, live with one or live with someone who has one. My ex had a bad addiction and I stood by him for many ups and downs and everything in between. It was not easy and we only drifted apart when he did not want to be helped and there was nothing more I could do. 

First before people get started on me...I have had an addiction (to many other things)...a legal addiction to pain killers.But who cares I was one of the very lucky ones who can over come it. I can even have these same pills that caused my addiction in my room in case of major pain and they are all accounted for. The worst is the withdrawals. You feel your life slips away and just one bad choice, 1 second of vulnerability and you are fucked. In my case the pills were thrown out...you name it, it was out of the house. My ex tried to get me back to doing them but i refused and I stated clean. somebody had too...especially for the sake of his kid. I'm now sitting as a professional writer, figure skater, figure skating coach (getting full license soon) and doing very well in school.

Yes, there are many...many...many ups and downs but that doesn't mean it wasn't hard. I have little kids who look up to me and sometimes I do think. Why? If they knew what my life was like? But then I sit down and realize they are in my life to be guided I can guide them around everything I went through.  

So if Cory, or Michael, Amy, Whitney or any other famous person who died from drugs, it's to show money cant by everything. They aren't happy but they still went on their daily lives. They tried to get help but they were not lucky. These people are role models in such way to have others aware that addictions are a disease and can open eyes for others to get help. 

So in other words...people who are talking about this...shut the fuck up and live your own life. There are so many people who have overcame everything and just a few who didn't...those few happened to be in the spotlight.
