New Year's Eve can be a tough night when you're in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction. Michelle Anderson, the host of 'Love Over Addiction', knows this all too well. In this episode, she shares four straightforward tips to help you navigate the holiday with a bit more ease. First up, she stresses the importance of being kind and compassionate with yourself.
It’s easy to get caught up in guilt or shame, but Michelle reminds you that your self-worth isn’t tied to your partner’s actions. Next, she tackles the often-overwhelming worry about what others think. It’s natural to feel judged because of your partner's behavior, but Michelle encourages you to focus on your own well-being instead.
She suggests creating some distance if needed—whether that means leaving the room, the party, or even opting for a quiet night in with a good book and some popcorn. Michelle also talks about not owning your partner’s embarrassing behavior. Their actions are their responsibility, not yours. Finally, she advises against comparing your situation to others'. Everyone has their own struggles, even if they aren't immediately visible. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
Whether you decide to stay in or face the festivities head-on, Michelle's tips can help you find some peace amidst the chaos. Tune in and discover how to take care of yourself while loving someone with addiction.
