When we love someone suffering from addiction, we will eventually become completely isolated if we’re not already. That’s what addiction wants, and frankly, what it needs to thrive.
As you know, we believe that we’re not powerless over this disease. There are things you can do to take your power back from addiction, and today is all about finding connection.
Today I share tips on what kind of friends to look for (and what kind of people you want to avoid), so that you can create friendships and share your story (what’s really going on), with that special person, or two (three at most).

0:00.0 | You're listening to the Love Over Addiction Podcast. So we are starting a series and it's seven helpful |
0:18.4 | So we are starting a series and it's seven helpful tips and like I said last week I'm breaking down the |
0:28.4 | tips into each bite-sized chunks each week because I believe that I'm going to give you tasks. |
0:37.2 | I'm going to ask you to do things that might make you scared and that you might need a few days to process you might need to listen to |
0:46.0 | this podcast in these series a few times but I'm also giving you homework and asking you to rise up and meet the challenge that I'm going to ask you to face. |

1:02.0 | So I want to break these down instead of giving you |
1:05.1 | all seven and one super long podcast into individual podcasts. So last week we |
1:12.1 | talked about the importance of finding your team. If you haven't |
1:16.2 | listened to that episode go back after this one and check it out. This episode |

1:54.1 | homes. Instead, we attract people who come to us and say, just tell me the five steps I need to |
2:00.6 | do. Like, I want to share my story but really I just need action items to get the heck out of this terrible |
2:09.8 | place that I am emotionally at. |
2:13.0 | That's the type of people that we attract, |
2:16.0 | and that's who you are. |
2:18.0 | So, it is very, very easy to think that we can power through this, that if we just know the steps, |
