Loving an Addict Almost Broke Me: The Truth About Codependency & Painful Love

Loving someone in active addiction can feel like slow-motion heartbreak.
You want to help. You want to save them. You keep hoping your love will be enough.
But little by little, it starts to destroy you.

In this raw and honest video, I share what it’s really like to love an addict—and how it almost broke me. The lies. The fear. The manipulation. The waiting. The losing myself in someone else's chaos.

This is for the moms, the partners, the siblings, the friends. The ones who lose sleep, who cover up, who try to fix it all… until there's nothing left to give.

You’ll learn:

Why loving an addict can turn into a cycle of obsession and pain

What codependency really looks like (and why it’s so hard to see in yourself)

The turning point that helped me finally let go

How to love someone in addiction without losing your sanity

Why setting boundaries is not betrayal—it’s survival

If you’re exhausted, confused, and starting to lose yourself… this is your mirror. And maybe your lifeline.
