Are You Feeding the Addiction Without Knowing? #addictionrecovery #boundaries #emotionalcover

You've got to be able to evaluate your needs and the cost of doing business with addiction. And that's a phrase I don't ever think I've said before or heard before. That's exactly what this is. The emotional cost, the financial cost of doing business with addiction will take your job. It'll take everything. So you have to decide how much are you willing to give it or how much are you willing to let it take? You have to evaluate what it is. What is it that I need and what am I doing to get that need met? And is it actually working? If Terrified that my child will deal drugs, so I'm going to give him money for drugs. We are not solving addiction. We are not getting anybody to see that this is not a good thing, but we are just frustrating ourselves. We are building resentment and we are enabling the disease. So our need to avoid is costing us. Figure out if there's something you can do and see what else you can stop doing after that. You have to know that until we are sick and tired of being sick and tired and really mean it, addiction will thrive. When we stop and we change the way we're interacting with addiction, it might stop the addiction.
