FEAR: False Emotions Appearing Real
I feel...
“Oh my God! He’s going to die right now!”
That is the line that woke me, Friday morning at 3am. Connected to the voice of a mom, who found her son literally dying for help. Call 911, now, I say. Pause. “He’s not really dying…he’s just overdone it again and is a little bluer this time.”
Oh my God, is right.
The feelings of being all alone in this effort to get someone we love to change, can be overwhelming and over time, becomes normalized. “I feel alone” becomes “I am alone…” and the hope of helping in the face of this terribly lonely problem recedes from view.
But you are not alone. This is truth. And it is the number one tool in reaching out and initiating change in the lives of those we love who are drowning in addiction.
Truth is, that truth is our number one tool. A feather sometimes, a little heavier as needed.
Call us. Change Begins, I promise.
