My dad just called me.
I asked him if he had been going to work, and he said he took a few weeks off to detox.
He said he hasn’t taken any pills for three weeks.
I really hope he was telling the truth. He sounded pretty good, especially for 830 at night. I miss my dad so much and I hope to God, should there be a God, that he gets better and stays better.
He’s one of the main reasons I would never touch drugs or alcohol. I respected him so much growing up because he worked hard and does what he loves to do. Growing up he drank a lot, he wasn’t a violent drunk or anything, but he was obsessive, at least from what I can remember. Then he up and quit. Everything, even smoking cigarettes. Then he eventually started smoking again and drinking occasionally. Then things got really bad. Opiates and what have you. He’s been to jail a few times for such reasons. I really hope that one day my dad can be the man I grew to respect again, but for now I hope he really is getting better. As much as he has hurt me these past 5 years, he is my dad and I love him.
