Sarah Michaud On Creating Our Realities

 

“Addiction is one of the few illnesses that tells you you don’t have it. That’s what denial is.”

 

“Codependency is about believing you can fix or change or control other people in your lives.”

 

“To be authentic is to know what you want and need and be able to communicate it.”

 

“Then you realize, oh, my thoughts are just thoughts. They’re not necessarily reality.”
