Healing Together: The Family's Role in Alcoholism Recovery

Giving rather than getting will become the guiding principle. So you don't get a big gold star for that, for doing what you should have been doing in the first place. We got to go home and we got to have some tolerance for people. Right, just because we get sober doesn't mean everybody in the family has to get sober.
Imagine navigating the rocky road of recovery, not just for yourself, but for your entire family. In this episode of 'Big Book with Karen', Karen tackles the complex and often overlooked topic of how alcoholism affects families. She kicks things off by addressing the pivotal role of love and tolerance as everyone adjusts to new dynamics. Sobriety isn't just about the individual; it's a family affair. Karen emphasizes that giving, rather than getting, should be the cornerstone of family interactions.
Constructive tasks can help rebuild relationships, but only if they're done without heated arguments or resentment. Karen also reassures listeners that while sobriety is a personal journey, it impacts everyone around you. Patience and understanding are key as family members find their footing. This episode is a heartfelt guide on fostering a supportive environment where love and tolerance can flourish, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery with their loved ones.
