Guilt is a sign that we are rising to the occasion and making tough choices with our loved ones who are suffering from addiction. Both emotions are good. Both are gifts. Feelings of guilt and anger are opportunities.
Guilt is a tricky emotion, especially when you're loving someone battling addiction. Many of us grew up believing that guilt means we've done something wrong. But what if that's not always the case? In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Anderson flips the script on guilt, suggesting it can actually be a sign you're doing something right. Imagine feeling guilty because you're setting boundaries or prioritizing your own needs.
It sounds counterintuitive, but Michelle explains how these feelings of guilt can indicate personal growth and resilience. Addiction doesn't play by the rules; it manipulates and lies, making traditional advice often useless. Michelle shares her personal journey of loving a good man suffering from addiction and how she learned to see guilt as a positive sign. She offers practical advice on pushing through these tough emotions and highlights the importance of self-care and setting healthy boundaries.
This episode isn't just about coping; it's about thriving despite the challenges. Michelle also underscores the value of joining a supportive community like Love Over Addiction, where you can find understanding and strength from others who are on the same journey. If you're struggling with guilt while trying to help a loved one with addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective and a beacon of hope.
