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
โI was sure I'd never feel noral again. I was wrong. Try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way. Keep going, even slowly.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
โFor 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.โ
