Shifting Focus: Self-Care for Those Loving Someone with Addiction

The truth be told, I did all the tricks in the book, all the manipulations I worked on myself so hard, I worked on our marriage, I did everything I was supposed to do and the bottom line, the simple truth, is that he didn’t choose me. So the life lesson there is: you got to fix yourself.
When you're in love with someone battling addiction, it’s easy to fall into the role of the fixer. Michelle Anderson knows this all too well and offers a fresh perspective in this episode of 'Love Over Addiction'. Instead of channeling all your energy into helping your loved one, Michelle suggests turning some of that compassion inward. She explores the importance of self-care and the power of focusing on your own well-being.
With her relatable style, Michelle shares personal anecdotes and practical advice on how to avoid the pitfalls of codependency. She reminds us that while we can’t change someone else, we have the power to work on ourselves. This episode is a heartfelt guide to finding balance, offering hope and a touch of humor along the way. Whether you're feeling drained or simply looking for ways to cope, Michelle’s insights provide a comforting reminder that you deserve care too.
