Addiction, Recovery, Love, Relationships
How often have you found yourself saying or thinking,
“If he/she/they would just do this, then everything would be ok?”
Welcome! I found myself thinking this often and it wasn’t until I was desperate enough to be honest about what was actually going on with me, that things became clearer. Guess what? I had to focus on myself (don’t you hate hearing that!?) and many options became available to me. My goal of getting others to fall in line changed. I began to discover the opportunities that I had and learned how to manage things that I could manage. In that process I learned the value of safety, vulnerability, validation and even found some humor in it all.
