@fragil3gg: addiction is such a difficult disease for those who love someone suffering from it. I think the thing that makes it so hard is because you know exactly what the addict needs to do to get their life back on track (which is made even harder when you're very ready and able to help them along the way) and there is nothing whatsoever that you can say that will make them understand that. this isn't because they're stupid, they're weak willed, or that they just don't care. when you are an addict, your brain tells you that everything besides drugs + things that help you acquire drugs are all that matters. that is the only thing that makes sense to them, and until THEY are ready to get sober, there is nothing you can say or do that will make them think differently. this video isn't saying you should abandon someone just because they're an addict, it's saying that you can only let an addict ruin your life for so long before you NEED to get away from them. remember that nothing is ever hopeless. no one expected me to survive, and now I'm almost ten years sober. just because you may have to go no contact with someone for a while doesn't mean you won't be part of their life ever again. so don't give up. find ways to have empathy for others and protect your mental health at the same time. I can't give you further advice on how to do that, because we're all different. however, I can tell you that even with our differences, we all have the ability to do this. ❤️‍🩹 #addiction #MentalHealth #sober #rockbottom #fyp
