Your recovery is just as important, if not more important, than his, and your recovery takes time and financial commitment just as much as his does.
Why do we keep returning to relationships that hurt us? Michelle Anderson tackles this tough question head-on in this episode of 'Love Over Addiction'. Drawing from her own life, Michelle opens up about the reasons she kept going back to a partner who struggled with addiction. She reveals how she fell in love with his potential, clung to the hope that sobriety would fix everything, and feared being alone.
But it’s not just about why we stay; it’s about what we can do to heal ourselves. Michelle emphasizes the importance of personal recovery and self-advocacy, reminding listeners that their well-being is just as crucial as their loved one's sobriety. She also touches on the impact of addiction on children and the hidden financial costs that often come with it. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of love, hope, and the hard truths of loving someone with an addiction.
Whether you’re in the thick of it or looking for a way out, Michelle’s candid insights offer a path to understanding and healing.
