Feeling anger, fear, or sadness when you love someone struggling with addiction is normal (even if you're no longer with them). And it's also understandable if you've felt all three at the same time. You've gone through a lot because of their actions and behaviors.
That's why it's so important to let yourself mourn: for what used to be good in your relationship and for what you had always envisioned could be.
Tune in to this week's episode as I share an 'aha' moment after I worked out recently and how it relates to addiction (because you know I'm always able to).

0:28.0 | And before I tell you what my big moment was, a revelation, I want to share with you what I was |
0:38.7 | doing when I had my aha. |
0:42.0 | So I try to work out about an hour a day, six days a week. |
0:49.1 | I just find that I need to move my body for the benefit of my mind. |
0:55.8 | I haven't, I don't do it for weight purposes |
0:58.2 | because I think when I exercise more, I eat more more so it's kind of a wash but I find that for my |

1:16.9 | And I have many options. I can go walking with a friend or I can go on my elliptical and watch really dumb TV that's thoughtless but entertaining. |
1:29.1 | And then I can also do this new exercise that I want to share with you because it is so |
1:40.2 | profound to me. I've never done anything like it and I've tried a lot of exercise programs |

2:08.4 | When I started this community, you know, many, many, many years ago, I made it a policy where I don't want to do that. |
2:16.9 | So it's called the class it was created by a woman named Tara Toomey. |
2:27.1 | And it is unbelievable. |
2:30.5 | So it's usually an hour long, which I know sounds really daunting. |
