Self-Care for the Loved Ones of Addicts

What this episode covers

Self-care? What, are you crazy or something? My loved one is practically dying and you are talking about SELF-CARE?!!Well, that's exactly how I thought when my sister was alive and in her active addiction. It feels impossible and also, wrong to practice self-care during such awful times in life. There is only so much that you are going to be able to do for someone. There is also a breaking point when ignoring your needs will cause harm. This occurs physically, mentally, and emotionally. It can also cost you your relationships, career, safety, and future. In this episode, we lean into the topic of self-care to better understand exactly why we need it, why it's helpful and how to start practicing it. For more, visit Kinly Society
