Anger and resentment.....self righteous indignation.......all of it.....has been replaced by a sense of gratitude for me. I hate addiction and what it does to people but I've learned a great deal about compassion, boundaries, tolerance, and silence......lessons I might not have learned otherwise. I found strength and peace because of addiction. I found self love because of addiction. I've met amazing people and continue to do so......recovering addicts and their loved ones.....all because if addiction.
I still hate the disease of addiction......but I don't hate people who are addicted.
gentle hugs
