[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 274733, member: 265"] Yes. I have had a couple of acquaintances who had life courses like this. I think it comes down to the constant emotional pressure of leaving past experiences behind. As I told one of them, the easiest thing to do in such a fix is to live down to people's expectations. Many of them think you are going to relapse since you were addicted before. Why go through all the hassle of living straight when it seems like nobody thinks you can? Even if you get clean and stay there, there's always the implied surveillance of a community that expects you to fail again. That can be an awful burden and it's always possible to escape it. Start using again. Like you, I hope Zeke works his way through this successfully. It's a matter of time and persistence. [/QUOTE]
