Life is full of changes, with or without addiction. In recovery, we get to choose which directions we want take with each new opportunity life brings. Just for today, get that self-mojo going and remind yourself that YOU deserve to be happy, to put yourself in an atmosphere of serenity and love. And to know that some things change, even the way family holidays are celebrated! Change is part of growth, and knowing what feels right helps you to make the right choices, choose the right paths. Keeping the focus on YOU is the healthiest gift you can give to yourself and your family.
And get reading on some codependency books if you haven't much! They are so insightful and empowering. I love "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie
