Unhealthy relationship bad for sobriety?

What @Lionfish said.

I spent so much time trying to “help” fix the people around me. And it’s exhausting, I think because it doesn’t work. It’s spinning my tires. All I can change is my part of a relationship. Their behavior shouldn’t have so much bearing on mine.

Plus a lot of time my making the effort to be a better, more present person alone turns the ship around.

And if it doesn’t, well… Maybe it’s not the relationship I thought it was. But how can I know that if I’m not staying present and being true to myself first? :pray:

I respectfully disagree. Expecting someone else to change because we have is just another form of self-will, and sets up the very likely possibly of resentment.
Live and let live.

True but we dont have to stay with them.

Everyone need some time by them selves especially when going through it

Nope, don’t have to stay with anyone but ourselves!
