Addiction is not a topic we have discussed enough on my social media. But it an important topic.

Addictions.

Some have dealt with them. Drinking, Drugs,

Others have had friends and family struggle with them. Noticing the problem, admitting the problem, and taking the steps to recover.

It can be draining on all involved. It has ruined friendships, families, relationships, jobs.

What do you do?

You try to balance healthy boundaries and enabling.

But what about you? What about your own life?

Where is your self care?

Where do you think about yourself?
