But what if anger is not just okay, but actually a vital emotion when you're loving someone struggling with addiction? In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Anderson dives into why anger is a natural and necessary response. She challenges the notion that anger makes you look weak or out of control.
Instead, Michelle shows how it can be an important signal that something needs to change. Have you ever felt that bubbling rage when your loved one is using again? That’s your inner alarm clock, telling you that things are off balance. Michelle explains how to listen to this emotional cue and use it to break free from unhealthy cycles.

By prioritizing your own well-being and setting boundaries, you can find joy and support, even in the toughest times. This episode is a blend of empathy, practical tips, and encouragement, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of loving someone with addiction.
