We here talk on forum, have apps, meditations, tools, mostly therapy and meds. But for example my mom and my boyfriend won't seek help for their addictions. 😔

My mom is on alcholic addiction - beer. And my boyfriend is dutch so he's on drugs - weed.

@intellectualGrapefruit6085 some people won't accept help. Unfortunately they are hooked or happy with the way they are. It's sad but it's life unfortunately. All I can say, is if it becomes to much for you, then you got to be strong, and step out of their way, for your own sake. God bless you ❤ good luck sweetie ❤❤gives you a giant tiny hug

Hug. It's hard to break up with him or get independent from mom and ignore her

@intellectualGrapefruit6085

So many of us have addicts in our lives and the fix is ALL in their hands not yours .... when we TRY by telling them thing or even intervention type things ............until they are willing to SEE it themselves we are just talking to the wall.   growing angry / upset or stressed is not effecting them only you. 

if it is at a point you cannot stand by  and watch self destruction........ then tell then ... you are out .... if and when they get their issues under control maybe you can be a part of their lives. when i quit trying told the person "when it hits you .... i used up all my sympathy"

Thank you. I really needed to hear it's not under my control.
