“Thank you. My daughter is 3 1/2 years sober & 3 treatment facilities. I feel like I am dying inside, completely exhausted. I’m grateful for you, I don’t feel alone.”
“I have the same thought, I just never said them to anyone other than my husband, it’s such a constant worry that we’ll receive that dreaded phone call”
“We lived this nightmare that came to an end on June 9, 2022. Now we live the nightmare of grief.”
“I’m so grateful that my recovery has given my mother peace. 8 years later and I know she’s still scared of “the call” I call her everyday just to check.”
“I am not me any longer. My husband doesn’t always get the version he should & my friends don’t always get a friend that has anything to give. It hurts”
