The serenity prayer has helped me to understand my place in the sense that I only have control over me and what I do.
Ever wondered how to find peace when a loved one is struggling with addiction? In this heartfelt episode of The Recovery Show, Jacob opens up about his experiences dealing with his son's addiction. He shares the pivotal moment he realized he was powerless over his son's choices and how this acceptance transformed his approach to support and recovery.
Jacob discusses the importance of detachment, a concept he learned through the Al-Anon program, which helped him stop enabling his son's behavior and start focusing on his own well-being. The episode also highlights the significance of Al-Anon literature, particularly the One Day at a Time readings from January 29th and February 11th, which offered Jacob solace and guidance during tough times.
From dealing with his son's incarceration to navigating indecision and fostering better communication, Jacob's story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and community support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with a loved one's addiction, offering practical advice, emotional support, and a sense of hope.
