I also discovered that everybody has some codependency, whether they're in a-step program or not.
Ever felt trapped in a cycle of codependency and addiction? Sarah M knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of The Recovery Show, she opens up about her path to recovery from what she calls 'co-crazy'. Sarah, a psychologist and author of 'Co-Crazy: One Psychologist's Recovery from Codependency and Addiction', shares her deeply personal story of how codependency crept into her life long before addiction did.
Sarah dives into the ways her focus on other people's feelings overshadowed her own needs, leading to medical issues and further addiction struggles. She candidly talks about the importance of turning the spotlight back on herself, managing anger, and healing from trauma. Her insights into the healing power of acceptance and the necessity of letting go of enabling behaviors are both eye-opening and relatable. One of the key takeaways from Sarah's journey is the role of sponsorship in recovery.
She explains how having a sponsor can provide the support needed to navigate the ups and downs of recovery. Additionally, she addresses the often-overlooked issue of loneliness and isolation, offering practical advice on how to overcome these challenges. Whether you're in a 12-step program or simply seeking to understand more about codependency, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical tools.
Sarah's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that focusing on oneself is not selfish but essential for healing.
