This is why we do what we do. If you or anyone you know needs help with any addiction, please call 330.870.4127 or call/text 330.271.9259 anytime to make an appointment! No judgment, just treatment.
Addiction doesn't just destroy the addict—it slowly drains the people who love them.
1 - You are not their saviour - No matter how much love, patience, or sacrifice you give, you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
2-Their addiction will always come first - No
matter how much they love you, their substance will always have the strongest hold on them.
3-Lies and broken promises are part of the cycle - If words could fix addiction, they would have changed by now. Actions are all that matter. ~
4-You will never be "enough" to make them stop - Love doesn't cure addiction. If it did, they would have quit a long time ago.
5-Their rock bottom might be lower than you can handle - You think things can't get worse, but with addiction, they always can.
How far are you willing to fall with them?
6-They only change when the consequences hurt more than quitting - As long as they have someone picking up the pieces, they have no reason to stop.
7-You can lose yourself trying to save them
- Your happiness, health, and sanity will deteriorate before they do.
8-Guilt will keep you trapped - "What if I leave and they get worse?" But what if you stay and you do?
9- Walking away doesn't mean you don't love them - It means you love yourself enough to stop drowning in their addiction.
Loving an addict is painful. But losing yourself in the process?
That's a tragedy.
