From people who came through it

  • โ€œI'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€

  • โ€œI'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.โ€

  • โ€œI 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€

    Elijah from Fort Worth M ยท been through a loved one's addiction
  • โ€œif 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€
