I really believe that we have to stop seeking their recovery to fix us... Live my program out loud so that my loved one sees: wow, I'm not telling them what to do, but I'm actually doing what I hope they will do.
When addiction strikes a loved one, it's not just the individual who suffers but the entire family. In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', Margaret Swift Thompson sits down with Sandy Swenson to discuss the often-overlooked need for family members to embark on their own recovery journey. Sandy opens up about her personal experience, shedding light on the pivotal moment she realized that trying to fix her son's addiction was a path to nowhere.
Instead, she found strength and healing by focusing on her own recovery. Margaret and Sandy explore the striking parallels between the recovery journeys of addicts and their families, emphasizing that both paths require daily commitment and self-compassion. They tackle tough topics like dishonesty and manipulation within family dynamics, offering listeners practical advice on maintaining grace and compassion.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by a loved one's addiction, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on reclaiming your power and finding your own path to recovery.
