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?

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!

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.

Who here knows this to be true?

We all have brokenness and messes. My question, though is, "How are you, really?" Behind the smile.
Behind the eyes.
Inside your heart.
How are you?
