From people who came through it
“I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Al-Anon on Wednesdays, every single day. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. Keep going, even slowly.”
mossbike04 · been through a loved one's addiction“Dear 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.”
Dean W. · been through a loved one's addiction“if 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.”
Rusty Rowan · been through a loved one's addiction“For whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was rehab twice already. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
