The Isolation of Addiction
Do you feel like you are on an island?
Some may think living on an island would be an amazing experience filled with adventure and relaxation. But before long, your resources would run out, the storms would come, the bugs would invade, and isolation would hit.
When we love someone in addiction, it can feel like we are stuck on an island with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Will this storm ever stop? Will the bugs go away? Will I ever see family and friends again? Can I ever enjoy life again?
The answer is yes, but you are the one who must make the decision to seek help for yourself. You must put in the work to get off that island. Is it easy? No. But is it necessary? Yes. Will you be grateful you did? Yes.
If you feel like you are stuck on an island alone, it’s time to use the resources you do have to get off it. Attend a Finding Hope meeting. Reach out to another Finding Hope member. Listen to the Finding Hope Podcast. Reread the Finding Hope book. Complete the Finding Hope YouVersion plans. Do it and know that an action always beats intention.
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
