Dallas Bragg tells people struggling with addiction that dealers know your schedule and habits only to sell you more drugs, while real friends and family check in because they care. He urges you to call or text someone who loves you right now, and share that you did it.
Look, your dealer isn't your friend. He doesn't ask you how you're doing because he cares. He asks because he wants to know if you're gonna be buying again this week. When you disappear for a month, the dealer doesn't check on you out of concern. He's a business person. The friend who loves you does. The mother who's been waiting by the phone, she's concerned. She loves you. The people who text, hey, are you still alive? Do. The drug takes everything and then offers to sell you more. The people who love you are the ones begging you to stop, but you keep answering the wrong number. Think about who you're protecting and who you're hiding from. Then make the call you've been avoiding, the one that saves your life. Text somebody who loves you today. Tell them you're still fighting and tell them, and then tell me when you did it in the comments or send me a DM.
