In a relationship?

Hello everyone! I am an individual in recovery and so it my significant other. We have been through so much together and it has been hard.

My S/O would relapse and when I tried to seek advice to best support him, I got a lot of “leave him, run” and that’s not what I wanted to do. The lack of support and research I did showed not of guidance on staying with your partner.

So I decided to make my own Facebook group focused on positive stories on relationship that have worked and survived the disease of addiction. I am in no way enabling toxicity or abuse. Just want a different outlet where the person can know there are different options and letting them decide in a judgement free safe space.

We hear all the time we can’t make an addict get sober, only they can do that. Same concept should apply to someone in a relationship with an addict. you wouldn’t tell an addict “just stop using” so we don’t believe in telling someone “just leave them” only they can decide that for themselves :slight_smile:

It’s new and would love some support!!!

Good cause!

Thank you! I was worried I would get a lot of hate because it’s against the norm but I’m happy it has been received so well!

I love it! My wife and I have been going thru this very same thing since I got sober in July. The only thing is I don’t do social media anymore due to some of my past issues. I think my wife is off of it as well, but I’ll check. I’m definitely interested in positive couples work. We’ve been listening and following the IGNTD podcast with Adi and Sophie Jaffe. It’s pretty awesome stuff. Either way, I think it’s a great idea!

thank you for the feedback!! I was scared it would be perceived as negative but so far, it’s been well received :black_heart:
