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
โDear 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.โ
โI 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.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
