No one can want recovery for someone more than that person wants it... It's the idea of, I will be here for anything you need to support you in recovery. I cannot have this in my life because I love you so much, like that is such a hard thing to say, but it's like at The End Of The Day, you know you can only control your actions and your reactions.
Imagine trying to help someone you care about, only to find they don't want your support. In this episode of Recovery Rocks, co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into this tough reality. Drawing from their own experiences and the wisdom of groups like Al-anon, ACOA, and CODA, they offer a candid discussion on the fine line between helping and enabling.
You'll hear about the importance of humility, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care when supporting someone who is struggling but not ready to accept help. Lisa and Tawny remind us that no one can force recovery on another person; it's a journey they must choose for themselves. This episode is packed with practical advice and relatable stories that will resonate with anyone trying to support a loved one through their recovery journey.
Plus, get ready for a musical treat as they feature tunes from the Rolling Stones, The Cure, and The Cult. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that balances empathy with tough love.
