@lauraclery: When I got sober nearly 14 years ago, I made a decision to practice forgiveness.. even when my resentments feel justified. I can’t carry hate in my heart… it’s actually dangerous for me to do that. That doesn’t mean I’m a doormat.. it means I lovingly detach and protect my kids & my peace all costs. Kat Williams knows what’s up. #LetGoWithLove #

This sounds like an apology to yourself 👀

Cutting off my little brother broke my mother. But it was for her sanity and safety. Addiction is a family disease. Those who aren’t in it, don’t fully understand. Protect your babies and yourself ❤️

The hardest part for me was realizing that I couldn't make my brother stop or change no matter what I did. Not for his child we raised, not for our parents, hell not even for his own health. We mourn for him while he's alive. It just sucks.

Been sober since 7/5/24. I've learned I do not and will not make amends with my ex. It will not help bring me peace to do that. Instead, I have forgiven him. I pray for him. And I hope he has a life that he deserves.

I feel this so strongly!! WE are the ones who suffer if we sit in HATE for another person!! They have no idea how we are feeling about them… and could care less. Divorcing an addict after 18 years, hopefully in one week. All my love to you!!! 🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚♥️♥️♥️♥️🫂🫂🫂🫂

As a fellow woman in recovery I’d like to say , I believe there is a difference between resentments and righteous anger . Resentments are things that have the ability to take us out if left unchecked. Personally I believe you have what’s called - Righteous anger. Righteous Anger is a feeling of justifiable anger directed at wrongdoing or injustice . It is a normally justifiable emotion that can motivate us to take action against what we perceive to be wrong and unfair

This is so hard to do when you care about the other person so so much, and they just reject it at every turn and you wish so badly they didn’t. But you are important, your children are the MOST important, and it’s crucial to protect yourself and them even when it hurts. You can’t control the other person, but you can control what you do about it. Great message 🩷

I often say of my little sister (who is I'm active addiction) that I'd give her a kidney if she needed it, but I'd also insist they lock up the meds they'd give me after the surgery so she doesn't steal them. I love her, but I know I also can't trust her right now, and that shit hurts.

So. Much. This ✌ I could absolutely care less about what you do *if it doesn't affect others* To my ex: I wish you the best, I hope you thrive and live an amazing life, but the *choices* you made hurt us and you knew it, but you couldn't stop. I don't hate you, I hate the pain you put us through 😭

Anyone who has or has had a friend or family member in active addiction knows this feeling too well. You love them.. you really care and you’re just watching them burn their life to the ground. And the worst part? There’s so little you can actually do. At some point, you have to make really hard choices to protect yourself… because enabling doesn’t save them.. it actually hurts everyone involved . (At least in my case) Took me years to learn that. Isn’t that wild?

Can I ask you if you have support from others? It’s been seven years since I let go of a toxic relationship which involved him using drugs and alcohol and I still think about all of the good parts of our relationship. I cannot think about the toxic parts and I know it’s not good for me because I’m missing something that wasn’t real if that makes sense. I don’t have a real big support team like family or friends that understand. I’m so upset with myself that I miss him and I never focus on the negative when I should be. I guess I’m asking for help. How do I do this? How do I be strong

I had to make the same choice to let my oldest sons father go. I fought so hard to keep us together while I was pregnant but he kept relapsing. My son was barely a year old when his father was beaten to death during a drug deal gone wrong and I buried him the day after my birthday. Letting him go was one of the hardest things I ever had to do but I've always told myself I had to do it for my son.

I’m early in recovery and getting a lot of my rational and logical thought back. (I’m 134 days clean). The best thing my family did for me was cut me off. They weee severely enabling me and always helping clean up the messes I made. I was so angry at the time, but now see it as a mandatory thing. You can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. PROTECT YOUR SANITY, bevause no one else will.

Addiction is the hardest thing I’ve ever watched someone I love go through. Especially bc you know the person they are without it. It feels like the love you send to them goes into a vacuum and never comes out.

I always had a hard time with forgiveness because of my mother. She would abuse me and scream t me, and act like nothing happened two seconds later. Forgiving is so hard when the other person doesn't care or isn't sorry, it takes a strong person to do it though. Good job❤️we're all proud of you

my ex husband made the same choices and now he's 6 ft under. My dad died the same way when I was 2. I wanted something different for my kids. We never hate them. we hate the drugs and alcohol that changed them.
