What You Don't Do Is Important, Too

Coming Up for Air — Families Speak to Families about Addiction

What you don’t do – like get caught up in being a superhero, or telling our loved ones what they “should do” – can help your relationships emerge as partnerships. If we develop good relationships, we have power. If we have the capacity to change, we have power. If we have awareness, we can make choices, and that gives us power, too. If we are what can change, them making changes in ourselves can have a huge impact on those around us.
