Summary
Maybe you don't have any proof (yet), but your intuition is kicking in and something feels "off" with your loved one suffering from addiction. Does this sound familiar? So how do you approach a tough conversation?
In this week's episode, I'll talk about how to communicate with your partner in these situations and what to actually say to them. I also share a very personal story that I haven't yet told when my ex-husband tested positive for drugs.
Remember, this is your greatest opportunity to learn some hard and difficult lessons. Keep learning, keep trying, and give yourself lots of grace. You're doing a great job.
