โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Try not to make big decisions on the worst days and I learned that the hard way.โ
โDear stranger, i was in the same place nearly four years ago. My husband's drinking getting worse. That was my life. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are in 2023. For me it was rehab twice already. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โif you are starting with a loved one's addiction, i am sorry. it is a mess. you will not know what to do. i still don't. but you don't have to figure it out alone. find a group like al-anon, even if it feels strange. keep your own money safe if you can. i learned that the hard way. and it is not your fault. you can love them and still say no. i am still learning that.โ
