I had a much different post planned for today, but my heart is heavy since someone close to me is battling a addiction to alcohol. It is the hardest thing to watch, especially when they don't realize they have a problem. Or they do, and then the next day they are at it again.
I feel like I barely slept a wink last night, I am exhausted and feel sick to my stomach.
This is someone that needs extra prayers and I am reaching out to you guys for that.
Have any of you gone thru something similar? I feel like were in a episode of intervention. Breaks my heart.

I know these situations very well. Mostly from a personal experience but also from the nursing side. Hang in there honey! Alcoholism is tough on everyone!
I am sending prayers your way.
I am SO sorry! I am definitely praying for you and for your friend!!
It's definitely not easy, and sometimes although we are hurting so bad, you can't do much until they are ready to seek help. I say this from experience with one of my brother's who battled cocaine and meth. It was a long 2-3 years of watching my parents suffer because of his choices, but until he was ready for help, then the changes began. He's been clean for over 5 years now, so hang in there!! I know it's hard, but things can turn around, as long as they are willing :) hugs & prayers!
I have not been through this- but please know I'm sending some prayers your friend's way and also to you and other friends/family of this person.
Oh man that is rough! I'm sorry to hear that.
It's rough to watch people you care about hurt themselves. Sending you good thoughts.
