Growing up in dysfunction, I was repeatedly attracted to toxic partners as I thought it was "normal".
I joined Al-anon several years ago. Worked my own recovery. I keep the focus on myself.
Building a good, sober, strong self of sense. I discovered that by putting my focus on others, I was providing myself with a useful distraction from sorting myself out.
I am no longer attracted to toxicity. I see it, feel it in other people. I walk away.
I keep myself safe.
