You will be able to express your feelings without ending in an argument. If you do this correctly, you will feel in control.
Living with someone battling addiction can feel like walking on eggshells. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Lisa Anderson offers practical advice for partners struggling to communicate their feelings to an alcoholic loved one. Michelle knows the emotional roller coaster all too well – one day, things seem better, and the next, hurtful words and broken promises leave you feeling shattered. Michelle shares three straightforward rules designed to help you express your emotions without sparking a conflict.
First, she advises against trying to talk to your partner while they’re intoxicated – it’s a recipe for disaster. Second, keep your conversations short and to the point. And third, when you do speak, focus on three key points: what they did, how it made you feel, and that they need help. The beauty of these rules lies in their simplicity.
They’re not about changing your partner but about giving you a voice and helping you regain a sense of control. Michelle emphasizes that their reaction is less important than your need to express yourself. By following these guidelines, you can navigate these tough conversations with more confidence and less stress. If you're looking for more support, Michelle’s Love Over Addiction program offers additional resources and community support to help you through this challenging journey.
Tune in for a mix of empathy, practical tips, and a touch of humor – because even in tough times, a little laughter can go a long way.
