FAQ
An impact statement is a brief summary, in lay terms, of the economic, environmental, and/or social impact of our efforts.
An impact letter is exactly what the name implies: a letter to tell someone struggling with addiction the impact their disease has on others. An impact letter tends to be both detailed and heartfelt, allowing an opportunity to discuss troubling circumstances as well as specific situations that have caused grief.
Victims of Crime: If you are a victim of a crime, writing an impact letter can be a therapeutic avenue for you to express your feelings and describe the effects the crime has had on your life.
Example: Over the past months and years, I have witnessed the toll that addiction has taken on our family. I have seen the pain in your eyes, the missed opportunities, and the strained relationships. It hurts me deeply to see you in this state, knowing the vibrant, caring, and talented person you truly are.
Some brief guidelines, letters should: Be addressed to 'Dear You' Written in the first person e.g. 'I felt that...' Be up to 1,000 words in length, preferably less. Be supportive and give comfort to the person reading the letter. Use your first name or a pseudonym to end the letter.
Some of the critical parts of an impact statement are: Why. Explaining why you are writing your message and what you hope to gain from telling your side of the story. Impact. Write down how your partner's betrayal impacted your physical, emotional, sexual, and mental experience. Experience. Future Needs. Gratitude.
Remember, this is a letter that must come from a place of ownership and empathy, a heartfelt, honest, and sincere letter. Acknowledge the pain your spouse experienced and take responsibility for it. The big idea is empathizing with your wife and her pain not in a pretend way but from the heart.
For example: “Dear Partner, Writing this letter made me feel exposed and vulnerable. I have had to muster up all of my courage to be open and describe what my life since the betrayal has really been like for me.
Begin your letter with a warm and loving tone. Example: I hope this letter finds you well. I want to start by expressing my deep love and concern for you. I understand that addiction is a complex and challenging struggle, and I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way.
A heartfelt letter is a letter that expresses how you truly feel. Whether writing about how much you love that special someone, or you want to express your concern, your true feelings are often in turmoil inside of you and are hard to put a name on sometimes. So putting those feelings into words may be difficult.
