Reading Reaction Unit Four

It's a classic story of a broken heart: I was in love but had to stop seeing him for reasons beyond my control. Drug addiction played the biggest factor in this scenario. I had quit talking to him for a couple of weeks because I needed to clear my head. Was me staying clean more important then this relationship? Could I get him to stop? He had to do it for himself. After about three weeks he hooked up with another women. "Did he not love me ...... ?" Stop! Sit back and realize what you are thinking, it's not all about you. It is about the drugs! Steps I take during these times are talk to friends, see my counselor, call my sponsor, go to a meeting, or simply sit down and meditate. Take life one day at a time. "It's o.k to love yourself," is what I say to myself as much as possible. Consequently, this relationship has come full circle, and he is working on himself and staying clean.
