Nothing you did causes him to drink or use drugs. Nothing you do causes him to quit. It's just that simple.
Addiction is a master of deceit, and if you love someone struggling with it, you might find yourself tangled in a web of lies. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle Anderson takes you through three of the biggest lies that addiction spins. Drawing from her own experience with her ex-husband's battle with alcohol and drugs, Michelle reveals how these lies can make you blame yourself, believe their love hinges on sobriety, and think you can control their actions.
But here's the truth: none of this is your fault. Michelle's candid storytelling and empathetic approach provide a lifeline for anyone feeling lost in the chaos of a loved one's addiction. She tackles the lie that it's your fault they drink or use, debunking the myth that you hold any responsibility for their choices. She also sheds light on the misconception that their love for you depends on their sobriety, and the dangerous belief that you can fix them.
Instead of getting caught in these traps, Michelle encourages focusing on self-love, compassion, and forgiveness. She reminds listeners that letting go of guilt and shame is crucial for both your well-being and theirs. This episode isn't just about coping; it's about reclaiming your power and finding hope amidst the turmoil. Whether you're exhausted from trying to help or just need a bit of encouragement, Michelle's insights offer a fresh perspective.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the difficult path of loving someone with addiction, providing both practical advice and emotional support.
