I have posted in the past many times about forgiving drug addicted and alcohol addicted friends and family members in the past. However, that doesn’t mean become a door mat. The pain of seeing someone you love addicted to drugs and alcohol is heart breaking. You must absolutely expect nothing from them, or your heart will continue to break. It’s not up to you to make them or help them change, it’s up to them! They are often professional manipulators, so smile and nod, yet accept what they are, addicts.
