The Kairos Centre Recovery Programme is about the couple recovery, not only the person with the addiction behaviours - where you are in a partnered relationship.
Sit in the seat or walk in the shoes of the partner affected and see life from their vantage point - if you dear - if you can!
Difficult to stay with it since to do so means subduing and turning off inclinations toward narcissism. Take a glimpse through their lens before narcissism kids back in. Empathise with their pain. Even that empathy will take you only so far in your quest for sobriety.
"White knuckling it" will last only so long. It runs out of puff? "Round and round the mulberry bush you go" again after a short while.
Remember that the umbrella of Shame covers both of you and so will also take the partner into hiding as well as you.
The Kairos Centre work with multiple numbers of partners (particularly female partners) adversely affected and traumatised by the addiction behaviours of the other. Let us support you.
