Don't leave your self-worth in the hands of someone who is sick. The dysfunction that is going on under your roof has nothing to do with you.
Ever wondered what your partner struggling with addiction isn't telling you? In this eye-opening episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Anderson sheds light on four crucial truths that addiction keeps hidden. Michelle, drawing from her own experiences, offers a heartfelt and practical guide to help you navigate these difficult waters. First up, it's essential to understand that it's not your fault.
The chaos and dysfunction in your family life are symptoms of the disease, not a reflection of your worth. Michelle reminds listeners that they are valuable and should not measure their self-worth by their partner's struggles. Secondly, it's not your job to fix them. Michelle emphasizes that your partner's recovery is their journey. Your efforts, while well-intentioned, won't lead to change unless they want it. Instead, she encourages you to focus on activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
The third truth is about the power of gratitude and openness to change. When you allow yourself to be transformed, amazing things can happen. Michelle shares how adopting a mindset of gratitude can shift your perspective and invite positive change into your life. Lastly, letting go of control is vital. Trying to manage every aspect of your partner's addiction can be exhausting and fruitless. Michelle advises focusing on what you can control—your own happiness and well-being.
This episode is packed with empathy, practical advice, and hope. Whether you're grappling with feelings of guilt or struggling to find your own path amidst the chaos, Michelle's insights will resonate deeply. Tune in to gain valuable tools for managing codependency, reclaiming your self-worth, and finding peace.
