Nancy A. Says:
When I recovered from alcohol and drugs, I replaced those addictions with addictions to other things -- other people being the main one. A friend reminded me that it is important to work on recovery from this addiction as well. As a child and spouse of alcoholics, I have been abandoned and neglected.
Lately, I have opened my eyes to the fact that it is not only the alcoholic or addict who abandoned me and neglected me -- I abandoned and neglected myself while I was addicted to the alcoholic or addict. It is time to stop abandoning and neglecting myself and really take care of me.
