You're not basing your emotions on what they did the night before, how they are feeling about themselves, how their recovery is or isn't going. You're not validating yourself based on if they are drinking or not, using drugs or not. That is what playing offense looks like.
Ever thought about how you approach life when loving someone with an addiction? Michelle Anderson, the insightful host of 'Love Over Addiction', uses a hockey analogy to explore whether you're playing offense or defense in your daily battles. Watching her husband on the ice got her thinking about how we either take charge of our lives or constantly react to the chaos addiction brings.
Are you setting goals and moving forward (offense), or are you stuck, trying to prevent your worst fears from coming true (defense)? In this episode, Michelle dives into the importance of shifting from a defensive stance—where you're trapped in the past and letting addiction dictate your life—to an offensive one, where you regain control and focus on your own healing. She encourages listeners to challenge their negative self-beliefs and build a positive identity.
This isn't just about coping; it's about making a conscious choice to change your life for the better. Michelle's wisdom is both practical and uplifting. She reminds us that addiction can be an opportunity to finally do the work we're meant to do. So, if you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, tune in to learn how to take that first step towards playing offense in your life.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone looking to reclaim their power and move forward with their own healing journey.
