To the tired, weary heart that has landed here –
I was you.
I sometimes still am.
I too have sat for hours, search after search on the internet, yielding me few results, deep diving, trying to find help, trying to find answers.
Sometimes I succeeded, sometimes I walked away feeling more deflated than before.
Information on addiction – what it is, what it means for the addict, is a dime a dozen.
Being a partner of an addict, that is where – while there is help – my experience is that much of it was strict, stringent, black or white – and for me, my world was always in-between both. It was always grey. Because loving an addict is grey. And that is where I did not always feel understood, loved, accepted, and heard.
My journey has held many ups and downs – different paths, different seasons. My hope in you being here is that you are able to identify with what you are searching for, and you feel you have found a home.
Please always remember … you are not alone.
What started for me as jotting thoughts, then wanting to do a blog by a timeline, turned into blogging in sections. Each section has an outline, themed posts, and Workbooks to assist you in navigating your way down this rabbit hole. This is a compilation of my experiences, and what helped me through each one. My hope is that what I have to offer lightens your emotional load, even if just a little.
And know, you will not be the last to land on this page in the want of finding help, love and acceptance.
