The quickest way to stop feeling crazy and not be lied to is to stop believing the lies and look at the facts.
Ever felt like you're running on a hamster wheel, trying to get your partner to stop lying about their drinking or drug use? Michelle Lisa Anderson gets it. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', she dives into the exhausting reality of loving someone who struggles with addiction and the constant deceit that often comes with it. Michelle doesn't just sympathize; she offers three straightforward tips to help you break free from the cycle of lies and start rebuilding trust.
First up, she suggests ditching the desperate pleas for your partner to promise they'll stop using. They already know the damage their addiction is causing, so skip the reminders. Instead, focus on their actions. Do they say family comes first? Watch if their choices back that up. Next, Michelle talks about changing how you react to their broken promises. It's easy to fall into a pattern of crying, pleading, or yelling when you're hurt, but these reactions often lead nowhere.
Instead, she encourages you to stick to the facts and avoid getting caught up in their lies. Michelle even offers a handy tool to help you with this. Finally, she reminds us that rebuilding trust is a marathon, not a sprint. Even if your partner has been sober for a while, it's normal to still feel wary. Trust needs time and consistent actions to grow again.
Michelle's advice is all about being smart and not letting the disease of addiction fool you. This episode isn't just about coping; it's about finding hope and practical ways to navigate the tough times. If you're tired of the lies and ready for some real change, this one's for you.
