I don’t know about a real relationship, I would just say that the addiction comes from a need to be loved and accepted, and it’s not something that you can get past. I don’t see people in recovery, or even addicts that I know, being able to have a real relationship with each other or with their families.
I remember my therapist telling me that I could have a real relationship with my mother, but that I didn’t want to. She also told me that I didn’t want a real relationship with my father anymore because he never really loved me. I understand the struggle and the pain that addicts have, but I would like to find out if a real relationship can exist with someone that I love.
Not everyone in recovery has the same experience as I do. But there are many ways in which people in recovery can connect with each other and with their families. What I learned in recovery is that recovery is not a one-time event where you have to leave the house or even change your life. It’s a process that involves going back to all your old habits, including your old friends, your old routines, and your old habits of anger and anger management.
This process is even more important with a loved one, because there is a heightened expectation that they’ll change. I know that I feel this way because my mom has been a wreck for the past year. We get an email once a year about her coming out of treatment, and the email is always long and boring. It is not until the last few months that I’ve been able to get in touch with my mom.
It is also important to remember that addiction is a complex process. At the same time that we are doing things to try to break away from an addiction, we are also doing things to maintain the addiction. For example, we make excuses to stay drunk or drink more. We stop exercising because we feel guilty, and we stop taking our meds because we feel better. We may also have to make sacrifices in order to stay sober, such as getting a job or a better education.
This is where the question of whether it’s possible for a person with an addiction to have a real relationship with their loved ones comes up. My mom is in a long-term relationship. She’s been married for twenty-five years and they’ve been together for twenty of them. That means she has a real life, and we are in a very real relationship that isn’t the type of love relationship that you’re probably thinking about.
In real relationships, the person with addiction is always the one who takes the hit, and it isnt uncommon for the addict to make the sacrifices that the addict is often expected to make. In that sense, being in a real relationship does not contradict the notion of having a real life, because the person with addiction is the one who has to make the sacrifice. But it does mean that the person with addiction is less likely to be able to have a real life.
The problem is that the person with addiction becomes the person with real life, and the person with real life becomes the one who is supposed to protect the person with addiction. And as long as the person with addiction isnt the one who takes the hit, its hard to have a real life.
If the person with addiction takes the hit, it’s often the person with real life that gets hurt. A person with addiction will often need professional help to find a new identity and to find appropriate help for the way they’re feeling. The person with addiction is going to have to let go of the person they were before they were addicted.
In other words, if the person with addiction takes the hit, then the person with real life isnt the one who gets hurt. So it is important to have a clear sense of what youre really dealing with, and how you should be handling them.
