Today KL sits down again with Sparkle, who is 30 years sober from her meth addiction, to touch on the importance of acceptance and compassionate, unconditional love with your addict. Sparkle speaks on disconnecting from the emotional impact of the addict’s behavior on you. Sparkle reminds us that boundaries are key when the addict’s behaviors are chaotic, and this includes dropping the internal judgment as a parent and how it’s not your job to fix the addict. Saying “no” is saying, “I love you.” Finally, they touch on codependency and being in your addiction to the disease. Remember, the addict’s addiction is not about you; you’re part of it, and how you are codependent is not about them. If you’re ever interested in hearing from an addict’s perspective, this episode is for you!
