Reflection
Living with a family member in active addiction can engulf your life with chaos. The concept of carving out time for self care may even seem ridiculous when you are in the midst of so many things going awry all at once.
But choosing to do something good for yourself actually better equips you to deal with the challenges with a greater measure of clarity and calm.
Small pauses for yourself – whether it’s joining a support community like Al-Anon, practicing prayer and meditation, getting more sleep, or soaking in the beauty of the outdoors can help to re-establish your own equilibrium.
