b'For those in the throes of an obsession with an addict or high on your codependency \\u2013 maybe you\\u2019re in love with someone and they start using or you discover they have an addiction, be that drugs, sex, alcohol. And they have continued to use despite you telling them you need them to stop.\\n\\nIf you are in the midst of a relationship that suddenly turned crazy due to one partner resuming an addiction, this can lead to you feeling crazy, yourself. This is to listen to in the moment this occurs \\u2013 especially if you feel like you are losing yourself and your sanity.\\n\\nMajor caveat: This is for if you have an adult in your life who is using \\u2013 not if you are a parent with a child who is using. Things are complicated when you have a child because you are responsible for caring for them and they are not adults yet capable of caring for themselves. I would not give you the same advice.\\n\\nI know it\\u2019s tough when you are in an area where there is no access to good 12-step meetings \\u2013 so if you don\\u2019t have any friends, family, or concrete resources like a good therapist with experience in addiction or a good meeting like COSA, Alanon or SLA, then this is for you. Because I listed this in the episode and they are one of my sponsors \\u2013 please check out: BetterHelp.com/HelpMeBeMe for online access to therapists!\\n\\nTo support our sponsors this week check out:\\n\\nWant to grow your skills as a designer and maker?
