Hi friend!
I'm so grateful that you're here because today we're honoring those who lost their lives to addiction.
This past Monday - March 6 - was Black Balloon Day & I felt it was necessary for me to rearrange my content & make this day the focus of this week's episode.
There is so much to say & so much that goes along with addiction. Everything from the guilt to the sadness to the disbelief takes its toll & leaves us different than we were before.
But here's the thing, I think it's SO important to remember that our loved one were SO MUCH MORE than their addictions.
They were people who loved, who laughed, who brought all sorts of LIFE to our own lives & that is something we cannot forget.
While I know this episode may be hard for some of you to hear, I hope you know that you are not alone in your pain & in your grief.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need additional help finding professional resources to help you & your loved ones.
