she believed she could so she did bracelet

“I don’t know what’s there not to like about this cuff bracelet. I got one of these as a gift for my very best friend Astryd, who’s struggling in overcoming her drug addiction. Her efforts are obvious for everyone involved and it was painful beyond words when we witnessed her having her second relapse a few weeks ago. During the sessions, while she’s away from home, her boyfriend took an excuse and left. He was the man she’s loved more than anyone else she had ever loved. We were all so worried about her, worried that there isn’t much we could do. Because she is the only one who can save herself from all this. That’s the reason why I found this message so vital for her sake. When I gave her this, she shed a tear and told me that this is the greatest gift she can receive under such circumstances. I held her tight in my arms and wished silently that this will make us only stronger than before.”

“My sister Carrie has been an alcoholic for the past 6 years. We’ve had several interventions and mercifully, the whole family, including our big extended family, is willing to partake in the treatment, because it’s not only Carrie’s illness, the family needs to get in the same healing procedure. After we acknowledged each of our responsibilities, Carrie agreed to take her problem seriously and she was sent to an institution. I visit her almost every week, and she has made amazing progress in this prolonged period. This week I brought this little cuff bracelet with me to surprise her. She looked as excited as a child when I pinched it to her wrist. Our family has great faith in her and we all look forward to the day when she can come home, strong and sober.”
