Stop Trying to Prove Who Was Right #addictionrecovery #addictionawareness
In this brief monologue, Amber Hollingsworth discusses a common conflict pattern among people in recovery: the endless battle over whose version of past events is "correct." She describes how partners often argue about who drank or smoked more, turning their kitchen into a "CSI Chardonnay" scene where each side gathers facts and evidence. Hollingsworth explains that such fact‑based disputes cannot resolve emotional injury because they focus on historical accuracy rather than the underlying feelings. She emphasizes that agreement on every detail is unnecessary; instead, the core need beneath resentment is simply to be understood and have one's experience validated.
