Being in this position, someone with a loved one suffering addiction can sometimes take all the joy out of life. If you take me for example, I always expect the bottom to drop out of things and for life to go pear shaped again, not really ever expecting anything for the fear I would get my hopes up.
My main thought today was how (especially children of addicts) how we can get the joy back into our life, and how we can stop feeling like the world is against us? Personally, every time I'm about to get happy, it's almost an alarm that goes off that says "Oops, she's about to be happy, let's get her"
I reach out to my higher power constantly for guidance and strength. I do understand that not everyone has the same beliefs and that we each have our own, but I think it is necessary and important to confide in something or someone, and this helps put a little joy back into my life. I never really realized until I got older, how much of this disease, this addiction disease could really have on people.. and the older I am getting the more I realize that it has a huge impact and we have to start enjoying life and appreciating the good... or at least I do.
So today, pose this question to yourself. How can you bring joy back into your life, after being faced with such a difficult task in life. If anyone has any ideas I'm up for hearing them!
Loads of Love,
