and I don’t just mean people on the wagon (though god knows all of us fighting addiction needs all the support we can get)
support and celebrate every person 5 years sober. you are amazing. your strength is inspiring.
support and celebrate every person one day sober. congratulations. you did it. we’re all so proud of you.
support and celebrate every person who just decided to get sober. that is an achievement worth celebrating. we love you.
support the people who have fallen off the wagon. we love you. every time you get back up, we celebrate with you. even if you can’t do it today, we’re still here with you.
support people addicted to hard drugs. meth is more than breaking bad, coke is more than scarface, heroin is more than trainspotting.
support people addicted to legal drugs. painkillers, stimulants, alcohol, benzos. your struggle is not lessened by the legality of your addiction.
support people with the invisible addictions. gambling, sex, eating, exercise. I know it’s hard to even acknowledge your problem. we’re here, waiting for you.
if the people I follow are as supportive, as VOCALLY supportive of addicts as they are of the mentally ill and neurodivergent members of the community, it could literally change - literally SAVE lives.
we exist. we’re invisible, for the most part. uplift us, support us, listen to our stories and give us a safe place to share. not everyone can go to AA or NA or the like.
