Giving up, I give up, surrender, I'm opting out letting go, surrendering, all of it sort of in the same wheelhouse of the most effective and powerful tools that people have in alcoholic environments.
Imagine navigating the rocky path of addiction recovery with a sense of humor and vulnerability. That's exactly what Kirkland Hamill brings to the table in this episode of The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast. Author of 'Filthy Beasts', Kirkland joins host Margaret Swift Thompson for a heartfelt discussion that dives deep into the ups and downs of living with addiction in the family.
With an engaging storytelling style, Kirkland shares his personal experiences, highlighting the importance of taking three steps forward even when you might take two steps back. Recovery, as he puts it, is far from a straight line. The conversation touches on spirituality, the role of love, and the power of surrender—not as a sign of defeat but as a conscious choice to opt out of the chaos addiction brings.
Kirkland’s insights into codependency and how it numbs us offer a fresh perspective on finding joy amidst the struggle. His journey through Al-Anon and the gifts it has brought him are not just inspiring but also practical for anyone grappling with similar issues. Tune in to hear how humor and vulnerability can be powerful tools in navigating through trauma and embracing the recovery journey.
