So if you're in the dark, you're in the right place of your life because you're going to find this light that will shine not only on you but to other people.
Ever felt lost trying to help someone you love battle addiction? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Duane Osterlind chats with Etel Leit about her personal journey living with a partner struggling with addiction. Etel reveals how addiction isn't just a solo struggle; it ripples out, affecting everyone close to the person battling it. She discusses the emotional toll it takes and how easy it is to lose oneself in the process of trying to 'fix' the addict.
But Etel’s story isn’t just about the darkness; it’s about finding light and rediscovering herself. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, finding hobbies, and prioritizing self-care. Etel introduces listeners to the three C's: You didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. She talks about the power of surrender and acceptance, offering tools for self-reflection and growth.
Her journey is a beacon of hope, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there’s a path to self-love and healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone living alongside someone with addiction, offering practical advice and heartfelt inspiration.
