What To Do When They Start Getting Mean

One of the core beliefs we have at Love Over Addiction is that addiction is a third party in our relationships. We view addiction as a separate entity from our loved ones. This helps us with forgiveness and to process why we love someone who can be so cruel and self-destructive. When they start being rude, nasty, or mean, that's the addiction trying to bait us. Addiction craves conflict and control. We don't need to stand there and take it - but we also don't need to take the bait. Instead, we can remove ourselves from the situation.
