Once you make the decision to stop allowing your emotions to rise and fall at the whim of your addict's ups and downs, you are ready to begin exploring the concept of being a loving mirror! Being a loving mirror means being there for your addict in a powerful way: with a sense of calm objectivity, without judgment, with tremendous empathy, and abiding self care. Once you put this tool into practice, your inner peace will be the prevailing mood in your life by choice, not because the addict in your life IS or ISN'T acting the way you want him or her to! |

With every year that goes by, we either get closer to fulfilling the purpose for which we were born or further away from doing so. Which is it for you? Until a couple of years ago, I knew there was something I was supposed to be doing and that what I was doing was NOT it! For years, I prayed to find my purpose, to figure out exactly what it was that my Higher Power wanted me to do in this life. Then I went through a course in which I was able to find out exactly what was missing in my career and my life path and once I began putting those things into place, I went through a shift that has been stunning in its effect on my life. |

If you are feeling like your addict is untrustable, know that there is one you can trust. Your Higher Power loves you more than you can imagine and is One you can trust to get you through whatever life is bringing your way. You can trust your addict to be him or herself. If your loved one is actively using, you can trust them to continue to do so and you can trust them to do all of the deceiving that goes along with that using. If your loved one is diligently working a recovery program, you can trust they will practice, practice, fall, fall, much like you do in your program of recovery. |
