Doesn't it feel great to take charge of your own life and realize that you have options. Our society obsesses over cell phones and staying "connected" to everyone that it seems many of us forget that just because a phone rings doesn't mean you need to answer it, that text messages don't need to be answered the moment they are received..if you want to answer at all, that if someone asks you to hang out you can say no OR even if you say yes you can change your mind.
Even though this all seems common sense, it gets so easy to forget we have options, especially when dealing with an addict.
I also struggled with being considered a liar if I changed my mind. Addicts will try to hold you to every little thing you say even if they do the complete opposite themselves. If you say "I'll pick you up tomorrow" and you no longer want to see her, you don't have to. Simple as that. WE control our lives and we need to start putting ourselves FIRST and doing what is best for OURSELVES.
Keep up your new attitude
