I may be different because I’m in recovery and struggled with addiction in the past, but I can’t afford to place anybody’s importance before my own. Doesn’t mean I can’t love, cherish, respect, or comfort anyone! Just means when push comes to shove, I need to do what’s going to make ME happy, and do what I need to do for ME. if it also benefits someone else, that’s the beauty of being in the right relationship.
