Well, the growth, the growth part for me, is to have that healthy boundary and not try and save the person, because I'll end up enabling them or working harder at their recovery than they do.

This connection fosters a safe space where individuals feel understood and accepted. Jim emphasizes that some of the most profound moments come from sharing vulnerabilities and mistakes, building a foundation of trust and authenticity.

It's about empowering them to take charge of their own recovery journey.
