Why am I writing this?

About:

I’m in my 30s, educated, professional, and recovering from an 8 year love affair with an alcoholic. Jesscape represents my hope that sharing my story will hold open an empathic space for others recovering from family-related addiction issues and empower me to own my story.

Please note: I am in no way a life coach, expert, or health professional. If you are in distress or curious about life improvement, I encourage you to seek out services in your community. There is no greater investment than one you make in yourself!

Happy Saturday! I know the term “codependent “ is controversial. Truthfully, I’m not crazy about it either... despite having it plastered all over my content. But, whatever you want to call it, it’s not uncommon for people exposed to the addiction of others to be vulnerable to challenging behaviours.⁣⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣ 🌿We are more likely to suffer from poor boundaries. ⁣⁣ 🌿We are more likely to blur our edges and invest more of our self esteem in the approval of others. ⁣⁣ 🌿We are more likely to take on the problems of others, trying to fix things that don’t belong to us. ⁣⁣ 🍃 We are also more likely to rely on denial, constrict our emotions, suffer from addiction, depression, anxiety, compulsions, hyper vigilance, and to be in unhealthy relationships with people who also suffer from compulsions.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But - things can change. I won’t lie to you and tell you that life without pain exists, that perfection is attainable, but I can tell you that putting effort into self is always a good investment. Its almost always possible to live more joyfully. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣ Why not start with a “classic”? @authormelodybeattie literally wrote the book on this, a couple of them actually. Give her a try!⁣⁣ ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣ ✍️ If you’d like to read more about my recovery journey, swing by the website (jesscape.com) for longer posts, email subscription, and links to my Facebook and Pinterest feeds. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣ #motivation #motive #motivating #need #urge #impulse #instinct #skill #knowledge #satisfaction #empathy #reason #objective #factor #belief #urgency #excuse #incentive #codependent #codependency #addiction #trusttheprocess #recovery #mentalhealthblogger #progressnotperfection #trauma #emotionalabuse #onedayatatime #acoa #myjesscape
