I hope Sabrina felt some sense of hope after running into you and seeing that change is possible. People always say “never meet your idols,” but sometimes it feels like there should be a saying about never reconnecting with people you knew in addiction because the reality can be so heartbreaking.
Reconnecting with people still deep in addiction can be painful because you’re often meeting them in survival mode, not as the person they could have been without the drugs, trauma or chaos consuming everything. The disappointment comes from wanting a meaningful reunion while realizing addiction has hollowed so much out.
But even those encounters can matter. To someone like Sabrina, seeing you healthy, alive and present may linger longer than you’ll ever know.
Has passed and then she sees you now. Handsome healthy happy and going down a successful path. See can see without you saying anything you’re the light that may change things? Keep shining
