"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
This statement works perfectly in the context of the codependant viewpoint. As the loved one of an addict, we become so caught up in the chaos of addiction and focusing on the addict that we often lose ourselves. The value we place on the lost (ourselves) will be determined by the sacrifice we are willing to make to seek us (work our recovery program and make self-care our number one priority) until we are found.

If it's used in the context of the addict, it's total bs; :rotfxko we are not that powerful, and we are not the addict's higher power, the addict must choose recovery for himself.
