Episode Synopsis
Lost time is never found again. -Benjamin Franklin
1. Pretend that your loved one is well again. In recovery. You receive a letter from him or her. Write what you want the letter to say. Hope for that. See this letter happening. Maybe your letter would say something like this:
Dear Mom,
Thank you for never giving up on me. I'm sorry for what I put you through when I was in active addiction. I said things I didn't mean. I did things I'm ashamed of. I am sorry. I love you forever. Your Son/Daughter
What will your letter say? Write it.
2. Pretend that you're living in your purpose and making your life meaningful by serving others, by bringing value to others using your 'sweet spot' or gifts. What could someone say to you to help you feel like it was all worthwhile? What would your letter say? What if it sounded like this?
Dear (Your Name)
You have changed my life by bringing me hope. You changed the way I used to think about addiction. Now I see my child, the one that I had written off. Together, we're building a better relationship, even though his substance use hasn't completely stop. I know now that if he should die, I will have no regrets.
Thank you, A Mom
