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“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“Reading 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.”
Dhanush I · been through a loved one's addiction“I'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.”
