Getting him sober is not the result we’re going for. It might be a great benefit to the teachings, but it’s not our goal.
Imagine receiving an email from someone who has been part of your community for years, sharing their journey of loving someone with addiction. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle Anderson reads a heartfelt message from a listener who once felt anger and frustration but has now found clarity and peace. This listener's therapist suggested that Michelle should address the anger some might feel when hearing her advice, and she takes this suggestion to heart.
Michelle dives into the idea that if her words make you feel defensive or upset, it might be a sign that there's inner work to be done. She shifts the focus from trying to change the addicted loved one to nurturing your own well-being. It's not about fixing them; it's about taking care of yourself. This episode is a call to let go of the need to control someone else's addiction and instead, pour energy into self-care and self-love.
Michelle emphasizes the importance of community support and provides practical tips for those struggling with codependency. By sharing this listener's journey, she highlights the transformative power of focusing on your own growth and happiness. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a loved one’s addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical advice. It's a reminder that your well-being matters and that you have the strength to create a positive change in your life.
Tune in for a message of hope, empowerment, and the importance of self-care.
