I'm trying really hard. I'm a high functioning addict and I'm involved in a number of programs to help me kick the habit. I don't steal from people, I don't abuse or yell at people, I've helped my mum out no end and I am the same person I've always been. Heck, I've been taking drugs since I was 12. Aside from being an addict, I have done nothing to warrent my mother's hostility.
