Ten Great Things About Recovering From Someone Else’s Addiction
By Stephanie Abbott

  1. The sun manages to come up without your help.
  2. Therapy finally kicks in.
  3. You can stop apologizing for what someone else did.
  4. Other people can solve their own problems or not.
  5. You really know you didn’t cause it.
  6. The statute of limitations has expired on your old mistakes.
  7. You let other people be wrong—even though you could improve things given the chance.
  8. It’s okay when other people can see that you and your life aren’t perfect.
  9. Worry is no longer a virtue.
  10. You don’t believe that only selfish people enjoy themselves.
