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
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
โFor anyone new to this: In 2023, that was me. Al-Anon on Wednesdays. That was my life. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
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
