Letting Go: Finding Yourself Amid a Loved One's Addiction

Today we talk about how to not take things personally, which basically involves unmeshing yourself from the other person, seeing yourself as a separate human being from the other person, allowing them the dignity and the respect of their own process.
Ever feel like you're losing yourself while trying to support a loved one through addiction? This episode of 'Coming Up for Air' is just what you need. Hosts Dominique Simone-Lavigne, Laurie McDougall, and Kayla Solomon tackle the tricky terrain of separating your identity from your loved one's struggles. They dive into why it's crucial to see yourself as an individual and not just as someone tethered to another's addiction journey.
Expect practical tips on self-care and boundary-setting, all while maintaining respect for your loved one's process. The hosts also touch on societal pressures and the importance of keenly observing how your loved one communicates. Plus, they highlight the value of Allies in Recovery's eLearning modules for those seeking structured support. If you're looking for a blend of empathy, real-world advice, and a touch of humor to lighten the load, this episode has got you covered.
