Life has a funny way of coming Full circle! A friend, that knows I have been struggling loving someone struggling with Addiction… A friend that once I helped years ago… Now turns tables…. They dropped by tonight… to give me this! #couragetochange A book.from Ala-non. God has a way of bringing people in & out of our lives, teaching us, planting seeds of Faith along the way! Tonight… that friend… heard me… Saw my pain, & didn’t judge or lecture… They just said… “When you’re done… I am here”… I am stubborn, loyal to a fault! I am stuck! Stuck inbetween, loving someone unconditionally & feeling the call to help, to treat, to link… to support! Even when its tearing me apart….
I do a family support group… I tell people daily, to *walk away* set firm boundaries *love yourself* …. I hear myself telling them this… Yet… I myself, cannot completely…. walk away!
