Caroline, thank you for this authentic, raw, sad, but all too real story. Within leaving rehab facility that I spent 50 days at (almost 7 years ago now), I lost 3 people to addiction that I had grown close with. Another friend and colleague who also struggled to stay sober took his life days before our country went into lockdown down the pandemic. All of these tragic events remind me, “only by the grace of God go I (and you)…”
I’m so sorry for your losses. This is the tragic reality of addiction and why so many of us (I believe) are called to shine a light on recovery. ❤️🩹 Grace upon Grace 🙏🏼
This hits too close to home-My cousin died of deliberate OD from pills he found, and this week I found out about colleagues who had relapsed who were members of the local Recovery community. It's hard, because I care about all of them and wish I had a magic wand to make the circumstances of their lives easier (some are unhoused and also dealing with MH issues) but I don't.

I feel you. It is so tough out there 🙏🏼
