do you feel helpless or powerless?
absolutely no one was able to help me until i wanted help.
then in recovery, i spent countless hours trying to help someone get sober. i had to accept i cant help someone that isnt ready. it was only hurting me.
i could keep doing it and love them to death or wait until they were ready and love them to life.
i didnt cause it
i cant control it
i cant cure them.

none of us can help someone who isnt ready and willing.
