This sucks and it's so heartbreaking to see it happen. I'm with ya, when it's someone I know or a sponsee, it's so hard not to think "could I have done more?" I get it, though. I hit a crossroads of sorts at the one year mark. I had so much anger; I couldn't even stand myself. By the grace of God I ended up at a Celebrate Recovery meeting and jumped into a step study and really dug into the next chapter of healing and working my recovery. If it wasn't for that, I don't think I would have stayed sober much longer either. Crazy thing about addiction is how it's so cunning and comes back with such a vengeance if it gets the opportunity. It's mind-boggling and heartbreaking all at the same time. Thank you for sharing and thanks for letting me share!

It is such a sad thing. You realize that we all dance on a knife’s edge and it takes a lot of effort to keep everything afloat. I’m glad I made it out, I’m glad you made it out. I’ll be really, really grateful if he can find a way out, too.
