Hey there folks

Gonna try to be have and open up. Because I'm feeling rough.

I'm 42, married to a wonderful woman, har two awesome sons who couldn't better human beings, and some really awesome pets.

I live in Costa Rica which is a dream.

But I can't be happy with myself.

Recently I got accidentally given drugs. A dude gave me the last smoke in his pack and in the bottom of the pack it was there.

I'm not going to go into details but I used it.

I was over 13 years clean.

I knew where it was going. But I lied to myself and said I could handle it.

Fast forward a few months and I lost my job, got scammed finding a new one, almost lost my family, lost over 50 pounds. I was only 160 to start.

Everyone is trying to help me and be supportive but it hurts when they do

I actually get scared to touch my wife.

Sometimes I shake and cry when I hold her hand.

I can't stop it.

We are about to lose our home and have to I've up our pets and life here. Because of what I did.

It isn't easy to face it and carry that guilt. I accept the responsibility of my actions. And my family is somehow cool enough to try to work with me through this.

I can't understand why though.

I need to figure out how to love myself, be worthy of love, and fix all of the things I broke.

I wish I knew how.
