Partners in Process

In Partners in Process we learn that individuals are not responsible for another person's addiction or recovery process.

We let go of our obsession with another's behavior and begin to lead happier and more manageable lives, lives with dignity and rights; guided by our faith in Jesus Christ.

 
We learn
   
Not to suffer because of the actions or reactions of other people

Not to allow ourselves to be used or abused by others in the interest of another's recovery
 
Not to do for others what they could do for themselves
   
Not to manipulate situations so others will eat, go to bed, get up, pay bills, not lust, not act out
   
Not to cover up for anyone's mistakes or misdeeds
   
Not to create a crisis and not to prevent a crisis if it is in the natural course of events
   
Detachment is neither kind nor unkind. It does not imply judgment or condemnation of the person or situation from which we are detaching. It is simply a means that allows us to separate ourselves from the adverse effects that another person's addiction can have upon our lives.
   
Detachment helps families look at their situations realistically and objectively, thereby making intelligent decisions.
