Finding Calm in Chaos: Small Steps to Peace While Loving Someone with Addiction

When we give something away, it's no longer ours. When we let go of something or someone, we are no longer tracking them. I am not driving back every day to goodwill to see what they have done with my bedding, because it's no longer mine. I gave it away. This is what it feels like: to truly let go.
Living with someone who struggles with addiction can often feel like you're caught in a whirlwind of chaos. Michelle Anderson, host of the 'Love Over Addiction' podcast, shares a heartfelt story in this episode about finding moments of calm amidst the turmoil. Michelle reveals how organizing her linen closet became a small but powerful act of taking control in her life. This simple task helped her feel grounded and capable, showing that even minor victories can bring significant relief.
She also discusses the importance of letting go and surrendering control over our loved ones' journeys. It's not an easy feat, but it can lead to a profound sense of peace and freedom. By confronting our fears and doubts, we can release the need to control everything and trust that things will unfold as they should. In this episode, Michelle provides practical tools to help listeners reclaim their happiness.
From setting boundaries to practicing gratitude and self-care, these tips offer a roadmap to finding joy amidst the chaos. Loving someone with addiction is undoubtedly challenging, but Michelle's insights remind us that it's possible to find peace and empowerment through small, deliberate actions. So, what are you holding on to that no longer serves you? What can you let go of to create space for joy and calm in your life?
