Ashley’s Journey: Breaking Free from Codependency

I found different parts of myself that I wanted to change for the better. I don't really need to work on myself anymore.
What happens when the patterns of our childhood follow us into adulthood, shaping our relationships and self-worth? In this episode of 'Addiction and the Family', Ashley opens up about her battle with codependency. Growing up, Ashley learned behaviors that later impacted her marriage to someone struggling with addiction. Through candid reflection, she traces these patterns back to her early years and shares the transformative steps she took to break free.
She emphasizes the importance of focusing on oneself and shifting negative mindsets rather than enabling loved ones. Ashley also talks about the different types of hope and how embracing realistic hope became a cornerstone of her recovery. She highlights the crucial role of therapy, recovery fellowships like Naranon, and open conversations with her daughter about addiction. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery and healing, offering valuable insights for anyone navigating similar challenges.
