My Partner’s An Addict: Should I Stay?

from Bookends of Recovery: A Podcast About Addiction, Betrayal Trauma & Healing · host Laura

I'll ask thought-provoking questions in this episode to help you think things through. Not all couples can make it through addiction, and that’s understandable. It’s no one’s fault. The critical thing to remember is to take care of yourself and your needs and only stay together if you’re both in a healthy recovery and can maintain hope that things can improve. It’s not fixed overnight or cured in a few months. It’s a lifetime of commitment for both of you. Only stay if you commit to that kind of recovery, healing, and understanding. That doesn’t mean addiction will consume every moment of your day. But, in the beginning, it feels all-consuming. But it won't stay that way. If you have any questions, please let me know. Sending everyone happy and healthy vibes,LauraPlease note: This podcast is for education only and is not a replacement for therapy.
