Detachment is letting go. Detachment is letting go of fixing it and sitting back and watching it happen.
Watching someone you love spiral into addiction is like witnessing a slow-motion car crash—you want to intervene, but you know it won't stop the impact. In this heartfelt episode of 'Living With an Alcoholic,' Logan dives into the painful yet essential practice of detachment. He shares his personal journey of stepping back and allowing natural consequences to unfold, even when every fiber of his being screamed to intervene.
Logan's candid reflections include gut-wrenching moments with his son and fiancée, whose destructive behaviors escalated to dangerous levels. He stresses that detachment isn't about abandoning love; it's about recognizing that sometimes, the best way to help is by not helping at all. This episode is a raw and honest look at the emotional rollercoaster of living with an addict or alcoholic. Logan discusses the importance of setting firm boundaries and sticking to them, no matter how difficult it may be.
He emphasizes that covering for their mistakes or cushioning their falls only prolongs the inevitable.

'Detachment' is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complexities of loving someone in active addiction. Logan's insights offer a blend of empathy and tough love, making this episode both supportive and enlightening.
