“I'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.”
cheryl_dusk73 · 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“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.”
