[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 754601, member: 24254"] So much of what we observe in others is fueled by their own feelings of discontent, irritability, and restlessness followed by guilt, remorse, and wanting to patch things up. None of this is communicated or spoken of because the underlying issue, addiction, is stepped in shame and secrecy and so must be protected at all costs. When I realise that the feelings, thoughts, and actions of others are none of my business , that the cycles of their mental health issues like addiction are neither about me nor caused by me, I can stop living from the outside on, and start living from the inside out. What do I need, what do I feel, what do I want in this moment? How do I take care of me right now? By doing that, the other people in my life have the opportunity to do the same for themselves if they so chose . [/QUOTE]
