Going through the 5 stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, helps us to process and identify where we are and where we need to go.
This is not an easy task but one worth the effort if we want to find true freedom from addiction.
When we allow for the loss we make room for the gain. Much like breathing, in with the new, out with the old.
Learning not to fight the process is only the beginning.
