Finding my strength
Finding my strength
Hi All,
I've been dealing with the harsh reality that my partner and dear friend is an addict. I spent a year hiding behind excuses that she was just drawn to dangerous situations. The hardest part is not being able to help her. I feel so broken right now. She is on a downward spiral with prescription drugs, alcohol, illegal drugs, etc. and I wish she could make her way back up the spiral.
