My boyfriend overdosed on June 27th and then I totaled the car his dad just gave me on the 6th and on the 7th my best friend overdosed. I don’t understand why I’m being punished so freaking much.

This isn’t punishment. It’s opportunity. You are being shown, up close and personal, what addiction leads to.
No matter how ashamed or weak or hurt you feel, drugs or booze won’t make it better. Getting fucked up is just pushing pause. The pain and suffering resume when you come down or sober up. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Today can be your day to start your path to wellness and recovery. Even if you quit drinking and drugging a month ago, sobriety comes when you admit that you need help and that you can’t do it alone. Until you get there, you’ll be trapped in that white knuckled craving, pitting your disease against your will. It’s lose lose.

To quote a bible verse, it rains on the just and the unjust alike. That means some days are just your day rain.
