Reflecting on Relationships

I know that in my addiction I took a lot of my relationships for granted and never fully appreciated the support that they gave me. I have learned that in a healthy relationship that both people should be able to be honest with each other even If it isn’t what the other person wants to hear. While I have been here at South Orange County Detox and Treatment I’ve had time to think about how I want to improve the relationships with my family and friends. I know that I want to be truthful and honest so that I can restore the trust that I have broken. I know that it may take time but to me it’s worth the wait. I know that my actions will speak louder than my words. I never want the people I love to question my intentions or motives again. I want to treat them with the same unconditional love and respect that they have shown me. I know that for right now I need to focus on myself so that when the time is right I can really be present and appreciate the family that I have been blessed with.
