Happy Wednesday Hivers!
I had a cousin who was a drug addict. Since he constantly involved himself in trouble, his family considered him one of their biggest problems.
One time, there was an allegation that his mother and sister collaborated to intervene and help him by reporting his drug use to the police, with the intention of getting him the necessary help and rehabilitation. During the apprehension, my cousin was caught in possession of a pack of prohibited drugs, and as a result, he was jailed. I can't recall the exact duration of his sentence.
His addiction has absolutely ruined his life. His family and relatives have slowly distanced themselves from him because of the numerous lies he has told, especially about money.
I remembered him while watching a flight movie when the protagonist said, 'That was it. I was finished, I was done. It was as if I had reached my lifelong limit of lies. I could not tell one more lie. And maybe I'm a sucker because if I had told just one more lie, I could have walked away from all that mess and kept my wings, kept my false sense of pride. And, more importantly, I could have avoided being locked up."
It was a very touching story; it's about a pilot who was an alcoholic, and his job was greatly affected because of it. He lost his family, his job, and some of his friends due to his addiction.
While watching the movie, I realized that no matter how addicted a person may be for a long time, if they truly desire to change their life for the better, they can definitely make that change.
Honestly, there was a boring part in the movie. It is not the kind of movie that can really spark interest. However, if your intention in watching it is to seek life lessons, then you might find them there, as the movie portrays drug and alcohol addiction and how addicts find their way to full recovery.
I don't know if my cousin is fully healed from his drug addiction, but what I do know is that his life has improved. He is now a free man and assists his mother at her small business.
The family always wants to see you become better. They are always right there, willing to help and guide you. However, if they feel tired of hearing so many lies, they may distance themselves, but that doesn't mean they will stop helping you. They simply need to rest and explore other alternatives to assist you in getting out of the messy life you have chosen. Because what matters to them is your well-being.
In the movie 'Flight,' the protagonist's son visited his father despite their strained relationship, before the protagonist was locked up in jail. The son had a desire to understand his father better, and the first question he asked him was, 'Who are you?' And the story ended at that moment.
Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!

Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby?
