I get this, unfortunately! The absence of drama and chaos in my life? Then what do I do? I once had a therapist tell me that I didn't know how to survive without chaos in my life! That was years ago and I thought he was crazy, yet years later, I still live a life filled with chaos. Hmmmmmmmm?
I think when things calm down around us and our addicts are in recovery, we are no longer as focused on them and what they are doing. This is when we have to begin to look at our self. I think this is what is so difficult, actually looking at myself and working on my own demons!
