She was a forgiver. Her heart was so large, she didn't know how to give up on people, because she always believed the good in those she loved. It was until she was walked on so many times, she had no choice but to let go of those who burned holes in her heart. Holes that affected her whole being, holes that would stay with her for the rest of her life... Want soms wanneer ek stilraak Sussie, is daar net geen meer woorde nie. Jammer as ek jou ooit in die steek gelaat het, iewers moes een van ons uit die sloot geklim het. Ek mis jou en weet dat jy sterk genoeg is om hierdie reis enduit te voltooi ❤

It can be hard to talk about and hear about what goes on when someone is struggling with addiction. Still, the more we face it and voice it, the more we break the shame within which it thrives. It cannot survive being shone a light on. Embrace the uncomfortable conversation with empathy and loving kindness and you might be surprised just how much difference a compassionate can make.

Loving someone through addiction, we play roles we may not be used to. ⠀⠀
Perhaps learning for the first time our motherly instincts or feeling like a coach or therapist. ⠀⠀
In some cases we’re trying to hard to hold it all together for our loved one, we become too perfect and they feel stuck in the role of the failure.
⠀⠀
Though showing them that life can be joyful and healthy, happy and fun can in itself be helpful. Showing up as too perfect can be dissuading. We are human too
⠀⠀
We also break down, need support and self care and make mistakes too. Know what I mean?

Yesterday’s news of Kate Spades passing really shook me. I know what it feels like to have everything you could want materially and still be miserable. Just a few short years ago I looked great from the outside. If you saw me then you’d think “wow it must be great to be her”. It wasn’t great to be me. Money and material possessions were a bandaid for the insecurity and depression I was dealing with. I was addicted to alcohol and drugs and literally hated every second of my life. My life felt empty and lonely. •

I don’t know what was going on in Kate’s life personally, but I do know the loneliness and isolation I felt during a time when things looked so amazing from the outside. I am sending so much love and light to Kate’s daughter and her family
Change doesn’t happen overnight, easy does it

How can we have more conversations that start here? ⠀⠀
One question I ask myself a lot is, if our loved ones know their substance use isn’t working for them (which they do), and so do we - aka we both want the same things - then how can we get to that conversation together, faster.
And with love.

We have extra reason to stay in a worried mental state when loving someone through addiction. Which means it’s extra important to practice positivity! ⠀⠀
Gratitude is a proven tool to super power our positivity.
⠀⠀
And what’s more, positivity rubs off on those around us. Like our loved ones!
⠀⠀
Need anymore reasons to give it a try?
⠀⠀
So what are you grateful for? One thing. Right now. Shout it out!
