Kristen :

alcoholism has ruined my life over and over, and ive never had a drinking problem.

ftfdreaa :

I’m not sure how long you’ve been dealing with it. But, I seen something on here that helped me. & it said “An addict isn’t going to stop for their kids, their wife, their husband, no one. You have to let them wallow in their own addiction and it will get to a point where they get sick of their own shit”.. that little message helped me soo much. I quit stressing about it, I continued to pray over him, I quit fighting with him about being drunk, I quit throwing it up in his face. 9 days ago he cried and said he was tired of drinking everyday, so we went to the ER. They prescribe him some withdrawal meds and he is currently 8 days sober. I am praying for you & yours, & I rebuke any addiction hold over your loved one’s life.❤️‍🩹

Krystal0212 :

Amen! Addiction destroyed my family and marriage. I’ve been to so many court dates, paid legal fees, and blew into an interlock device for 187 days…and I’ve never been arrested or had a DWI. However, I definitely paid the consequences as if I did. I’m so happy for my kids and myself to be on the other side of my divorce and to see us finding happiness again.

Kenny Carter :

My godddd I feel this in every part of my soul

Tawnya :

To be collateral damage in someone else’s war against themselves is a wild ride too many of us understand 💔🫶

Laci :

Ouch! This hit hard! Wrote an essay in high school titled “My Mom’s Beneficial Death”

Irene Grace Castillo :

I’m right there with you

AndreaWasHere :

Addiction took my son . I went to schools police , hospitals and got no help . Forever 26

crystal :

Lost my dad to addiction, my sister going down the same path sadly !!

💚 :

I’m watching the effects it had on my children and I was never the addict either. But I blame myself for staying and letting them be exposed.

Melinda❌ :

It's not funny

Maureen Davis :

Addiction has affected my life, all of my life, and still to this day. And I was NEVER once the Addict. From the outside looking in, anyone who has never had a family member, friend, or loved one struggle with addiction, they do not understand the toll it takes on us, and the strength we need not just only for ourselves but for the loved on who is struggling.

Theresa Campbell479 :

Me too sweetie. Hugs

Maria Parrish :

The accuracy of this hurts. You're not alone in this club nobody wants to be in ❤️

tanea06 :

my ex was a addict bout broke myself trying to save him

Megs🖤 :

As a nurse I understand and empathize with addicts. But as a daughter, my heart is so broken and angry.. it’s a different type of feeling, one I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
