When friendship becomes consumed by one person's addiction and both people lose themselves

My best friend has been struggling with drinking for years and I've watched him disappear piece by piece, but I recently realized I've been disappearing too - becoming someone who only knows how to worry and manage and fix. We're losing each other in different ways to the same thing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Addiction creates a gravitational pull that can cause both the person using and those who love them to lose their essential selves.
