If we have listened to someone tell us for a long time we are wrong, when our gut instinct tells us we’re right, we can begin to believe that person. This is especially true if you are a codependent living with an active addict. (It doesn’t matter what the addiction is) We begin to stop listening to our gut instinct and to a deeper part of ourselves.
But your gut instinct is usually right. Begin today to check in with yourself and see what your gut is telling you. Start listening again to that little voice you once silenced and not to others, whom you know are lying.
