Hey,

I'm Jasmine, founder and CEO Abilene Absolute Recovery Solutions, OTP, MAT Clinic. I do this job for people I have yet to meet, people who share my vision and work with me, people I've lost, people who lost people, people who are lost, people I have yet to meet, and my own family.
*
This isn't the first time I experienced loss and gain, relapse and redo with my Dad. But today, after 6 years, I got to spend a few hours woth him. It was absolutely beautiful. Years ago, I had to completely step back because I told him his choices did not work and he was an option, not a necessity,to my amd my kids' lives.
*
It broke me. But, I grew up in this world and I'd be damned if my kids would be a product of the same dysfunction of my childhood. I blame no one. I just needed to be a better example for 2 kids with whom God blessed me, that doctors told me I'd never have.
*
I'm proud of my father. One day at a time. One decision. One choice. Addiction is real. It sucks. We are all a bunch of addicts. We just have a different choice of "drug." For some it's opiates. For others, alcohol. Others choose s*x, gambling, money, work, or the gym.
*
We are all sinners. And if it weren't for second chances (or 50th) we'dallbe alone.
*
Dealing with someone addicted to something they and you cannot control?
*
Trust me when I say, I know when you're done with the lies and manipulation amd have to walk away. Damn! That's as hard as their addiction. It's admitting defeat. And it's admitting that your own wellbeing must win or the whole ship will sink. And that, is okay, too. To save yourself. Just Pray for them and wish them.well. BUT, if God tells you try again, consider.

An addict fell in a hole and couldn't get out.
A businessman went by.
The addict called out for help.
The businessman threw him some money and told him to buy a ladder.
But the addict could not find a ladder in this hole he was in.
A doctor walked by.
The addict said, "Help, I can't get out."
The doctor gave him some drugs and said,
"Take this, it will relieve the pain."
The addict said thanks, but when the pills ran out while he was still in the hole.
A renowned psychiatrist rode by and heard the addict's cries for help.
He stopped and said, "How did you get in there?
Were you born there? Did your parents put you there? Tell me about yourself, it will alleviate your sense of loneliness."
So the addict talked with him for an hour, then the psychiatrist had to leave, but he said he'd be back next week.
The addict thanked him, but was still in his hole. A priest came by and heard the addict calling for help.
The priest gave him a Bible and said, "I’ll pray for you.
The priest got down on his knees and prayed for the addict, then left.
The addict was very grateful and he read the whole Bible, but he was still stuck in that hole.
A recovering addict happened to be passing by. The addict cried out, "Hey, help me, l'm stuck in this hole."
Right away, the recovering addict jumped in the hole with him.
The addict said, "What are you doing? Now we're both stuck here."
But the recovering addict said, "It's okay, I've been here before, I know the way out."

The moral of the story is that empathy and shared experience can reach where education, money, or good intentions alone cannot.
The recovering addict could help because he understood the hole. Not from theory, but from lived experience.

The opposite of addiction is connection.

Go help someone and let’s keep trudging together!
