Thank you for your thoughts. Unfortunately I don’t have many recent addresses for hand written letters... but it is such a sincere gesture. I emailed 2 people yesterday and no responses yet — but I’m sure it will take time. That’s OK, I’m patient and glad I reached out regardless of the outcome.

It was important for me to go through the process so I don’t repeat patterns again in the future. Isolation happens so quickly when someone else’s addiction becomes your #1 focus.

Picking up the pieces... growing... forgiving yourself & others... grieving... it’s all part of the process I’m currently navigating. Appreciate the kind words and examples.
