Animals For Addicts

Loving a drug addict or an active alcoholic is the hardest thing you will ever do. Watching someone you love, who has fought so hard to beat addiction, throw everything away and sink back into a life that will most likely lead to jail or death, is one of the hardest things you will ever do.

All you wanted was to help them back to a clean and sober life but you realize by doing this, as you have before, will now just be enabling them because it will show them that you will always be there to bail them out. You want to grab and shake them and say "What are you doing?!?!" But, at some point you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. So you sit back and watch the tragedy unfold, as if you are watching a movie. Feeling helpless to stop it, feeling like you haven't done enough to help, even though you know only the addict can help themselves.

Battling a drug and/or an alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and the ones who love them. So l am asking you to stand with me in prayer for every family member and friend who has lost or is losing their battle with drugs and alcohol and those who continue to conquer it!

Together we are stronger than addiction.

Thank you ❤

One thing you never want to do:
watch someone you love, that has fought so hard to beat addiction, throw everything away and sink back into a life that will most likely lead to jail or death. You want to grab them and shake them and scream, "What are you doing?!?!" but, at some point, you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. So you sit back and watch the tragedy unfold as if you are watching a movie. Feeling helpless to stop it, feeling like you haven't done enough to help, even though you know only the addict can help themselves. Battling a drug and/or alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and for the ones who love them. So l am asking you to stand with me in prayer for every family member, loved one and friend who has lost or is losing their battle with drugs and alcohol and for those who continue to conquer it! Put this on your page for one hour if you know someone who struggles with addiction. Many will be hesitant to copy and paste this. Some of you won't, and that's OK. Do whisper the prayer though. One day at a time. One minute at a time. One second at a time. Addicts Do Recover ...
We all know someone who needs this prayer.
