The truth is this: he's not going to say you're right, honey, that's a drink, and I was just trying to trick you. I love you so much. Please forgive me and wait right here while I throw it out, like that's not going to happen. We both know that's not going to happen. So why do we keep expecting this?
Imagine discovering that the person you love has been lying to you about their drinking. Michelle Anderson shares a powerful story of a woman who faced this exact scenario in 'Love Over Addiction'. Her husband insisted his drink was just soda, even when it clearly wasn't. This situation can make anyone feel like they're losing their mind. So, how do you handle it without going crazy yourself?
Michelle offers some straightforward advice to help you regain control and protect your mental well-being. First off, trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. Michelle suggests calmly telling your partner that you know the truth and then stepping back from the confrontation. This approach takes away their power to manipulate the situation and helps you stay grounded. Reacting calmly might sound easier said than done, especially when emotions are running high. But keeping your cool is crucial.
Michelle highlights that arguing or lecturing will only make things worse. Instead, focus on setting healthy boundaries and finding support. The 'Love Over Addiction' program is a great resource for this. It's a community of women who understand exactly what you're going through. Whether you decide to stay or leave, and regardless of whether your loved one gets sober, the program offers tools to help you live a happier, healthier life.
You'll learn how to handle lies, manage your reactions, and set boundaries that protect your well-being. Dealing with lying in addiction is tough, but you're not alone. Trust your instincts, stay calm, and seek out support. The 'Love Over Addiction' program can provide the guidance and community you need to navigate these challenges and come out stronger on the other side.
