Help for a loved one's addiction in Portugal
From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was rehab twice already. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
Cleaner in Sherbrooke · been through a loved one's addiction“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'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.”
mossbike04 · 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.”
