2. Is my secular 12-step recovery group holding me back? I have been clean from drugs and alcohol for 12 years, but a woman in my Sunday School class thinks my secular recovery group is like living in the past.
3. Could my misguided expectations be an example of a generational curse? I have expectations, such as thinking I’m going to get a return on my investment in a relationship.
4. How do I deal with a family member who is struggling with addiction when my significant other disagrees with how we should approach them? I’ve been sober for nine years, and my significant other has been sober for eight.
