20 年 後 に 私 を 捨て た 最善 の 友 に

Kaia Renouf¹

• ¹Kaia Renouf (krenouf@bridgetotreatment.org) is a clinical project manager at CA Bridge, an initiative of the Public Health Institute's Bridge program, in Oakland, California. Author's statement: "Recovery is complicated, and the longer it goes on, the more complicated it is. Without the dissolution of my most meaningful childhood friendship as a direct result of my substance use, I do not know that I would have stopped. Now that it's been twenty years, it's hard not to think that I would have given her more grace had our roles been reversed. Addiction takes from people, and the loss doesn't end when the substance use does. Wherever she is now, I hope she's grown and changed as much as I have."
