Just Breathe

So… your loved one is in treatment.  What now?  Do you go to their room and look for further evidence that they are an addict or chemically dependent?  Do you sit down and map out what your loved one should do to remain abstinent from their addictive behavior after they return home?  The answers to all of these questions are NO, NO and NO!

It might be a good idea to ask yourself: who has been taking care of me?  What are your needs and feelings today.  Maybe you should just close you eyes and breathe deeply.  It is time for you to take care of your self.  Wow!  This does open a whole new world of possibilities.
