Summary

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. When you have a partner that suffers from addiction, you may be left feeling alone and neglected on this day that’s supposed to be all about love.

We have a loving suggestion for you: Be your own Valentine. Prepare for the day, dress up, exercise, plant flowers, whatever is “your thing”, girl do your thang.

Today on the podcast we hear from our Love Over Addiction Sisters as they share their own self-care tips to prepare for this day all about love.

These sisters are strong, and they know what it’s like to be with a person that is addicted to alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription pills, gambling, pornography, or sex, among other things. They know what Valentine’s Day can feel like and they’re getting prepared.

These women have fallen in love with themselves, for the first time, or all over again. I adore them. Even when it’s uncomfortable, not “fun”, or just downright hard, they persist. You persist. We’re strong together.

Hear their voices, ideas, and hopefully you’ll walk away with some new insights yourself: https://loveoveraddiction.com/valentines-day-with-loa-sisters/
