From people who came through it
“For 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. x”
lily_dusk · 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“I don't have answers, but I can tell you that you're not crazy for feeling everything at once. The line between helping and enabling is blurry, and you'll cross it sometimes. That doesn't make you a bad person. Find one person who gets it. For me, it was a mate from work who'd been through something similar. And keep something for yourself, even if it's just a run. You'll get through, but not in a straight line.”
Ajay N. · been through a loved one's addiction“I 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.”
