When you love an addict, your own memory works against you. They come home from rehab. They promise to be better. You want it so badly that you forget what life was really like. Then they tell you it never happened, and you start to wonder if you are the crazy one.
In this episode, Meridith and Beth make the case for keeping a record. Beth shares the journal she kept while living with an active addict: dates, times, and facts, written in ink. It protected her legally. It kept her steady when the pressure came to go back. Years later, it showed her how far she had come.
You will hear:
- What to document, and how to keep it objective
- Why photos and video belong in the record
- Why the journal is for you, not a case to make to your addict
- How a second journal for your feelings lets the pressure out before it blows
- How writing it down brings clarity when you do not know whether to stay or go
Writing keeps you honest. It also helps you find your voice before you are ready to speak it.
Meridith and Beth are not doctors, experts, or therapists. They are two sisters who have loved, supported, and lived with addicts.
