Most of us don’t know what we are stepping into when trying to help our loved one's battle addiction.
And for that, a percentage of us end up inflicting damaging wounds against ourselves.
Starts with anger, then loneliness sets in, depression, and some, unfortunately, turn to substance abuse themselves to fill these moments of trying to get through the day.
.
Why?
Why does this happen to us when we ultimately didn’t choose their drug of choice?
Why do we inflict these wounds upon ourselves, friends?
.
Because we’ve fallen into what we know; what society has shown us.
To remain silent in a world rocked by addiction. To live anonymously for the sake of shame, embarrassment and the sheer understanding of NOT UNDERSTANDING how to cope.
.
Friends, we can do better than that! Hell, we ARE society.
We have the POWER to change our future & collectively others who walk in the same shoes.
.
We don’t have control over our loved ones, but we have control over ourselves.
Friends; this may seem like natural knowledge, but let me ask you.
Are you walking with intent every day to take care of YOU?
Talking about addiction is tough language. But talking about self-love over another’s addiction isn’t.
We may feel like we are the victim here. But we’re not.
.
We must find our voice.
We must link arms with our community and give hope that there are better days on the horizon if we are willing to take the steps to get there.

People can change their patterns and behaviors!
If we stay “stuck” in the message that people can’t change, we miss the opportunity to transform a painful pattern.
A change in thought can change a life.

Reminiscing on the days, I knew you before substance abuse did.
I love who I know you are; I will always be thankful for that.

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?

“I feel a lot better since I’m working on me and not the alcoholic or the non‑alcoholic… I’m putting my focus on myself. I’ve discovered how much better my life can be when I recognize my part in problems and make choices that are good for me. Taking a personal inventory of myself each time I’m getting off track keeps me going in an orderly direction. No one can make me change. I have to want to change.”

This disease can make you feel like you're crazy. That what you're seeing or feeling isn't really going on.
Your partner that suffers from addiction may try to deny that they have a problem. Or they might lie to you about something they did.
But the truth is: you know, and they know they lied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just remember, you're in control over yourself and how you react. Go about your day and turn any frustration into doing something you want to do.
You've got this.
As I venture down this new path, there are thorns that need to be dealt with, negative emotions. They get in the way. They hurt.
•
Fear. Anger. Rejection. Loneliness. Powerlessness. Shame.
•
But. They have a purpose. They expose something going on internally.
•
Over the next week, we will face a few of these negative emotional strongholds. And how to overcome this pain.
•
But we aren’t venturing into the woods alone. We have a guide and a map. Our guide is the One who made us. Our map is a book that is rooted in the Word.
•
Time for a trek into new territory. Side by side. Reaching out. My hand to yours.

I am loving someone through addiction.
In other words; I love an addict.
Whatever terminology you use to describe your journey loving someone battling substance abuse; this journey is a commitment.
A commitment of love, patience, communication; but don’t forget, a commitment to yourself, to never give up on YOU while joining their battle.
Remember, you’re not alone in this journey loving someone through addiction.
