I'm worried about Sam
On 90 Day Diaries, we see an update from Sam and Citra. He says, "Since Aeris was born, everything's been amazing"... then contradicts himself and soon says, "However, things are not so good." And that is hard to hear because their marriage and family are so new and so young. He admits he "put himself in the wrong crowd and put himself in a bad situation and relapsed," And you have to think they have only been married 2 years. What has to have happened where he feels he has to hang out with the wrong people and do drugs when he has this beautiful family at home, this soon or at all? It's not like they have been married for years and things have been grinding on him, and he needs an escape. But yet, I know addiction is rough, because I have been there. ( and I'm not there anymore, thank goodness)
I hope for their sake that he is not trying to white-knuckle through it alone and that he has resources. He should be going to meetings and counseling on a continuous, ongoing basis throughout his life. It seems like he has made up with Citra and his father-in-law, who seems really supportive. But I side-eye Sam's "plan" to prove his seriousness that he won't mess up again. To become a cop? I think this is something he can throw out there as a band-aid for now, to calm the storm, to win everyone back and believe him in the moment. To appease everyone because it sounds good. But does Sam really want to become a cop? Do you think he can do it? At the end of the segment, he really looked like he was struggling, and I couldn't tell whether I believed his words. Honestly, he should tell his family, his focus is his sobriety by going to meetings and counseling, and maybe even seeing a Doctor to see if he suffers from anything where he needs medication. Alot of people who suffer from addiction have undiagnosed mental health issues, and once that is resolved, sobriety is so much easier. He deserves for things to be as easy as possible for him. I hate to see him struggle.
I hope they can make it.
