When we serve others and we can take away our own selfishness, it helps us get to the other side and be there for somebody else, and in that reward we heal and we help others heal.
Living with a loved one struggling with addiction can feel like an endless rollercoaster of emotions. Michelle Weidenbenner, host of 'Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up', understands this all too well. In this episode, she shares five actionable strategies to help mothers find joy despite the anxiety and chaos that addiction brings into their lives. Michelle's journey as a mother of a recovering addict gives her a unique perspective, and her advice is both practical and heartfelt.
She emphasizes the importance of focusing on what you can control—your actions and reactions—rather than trying to fix your loved one's addiction. One of the key takeaways is the idea of finding joy through new hobbies, daily gratitude, and serving others. Michelle also highlights the significance of building a supportive network of people who understand what you're going through. Her compassionate approach offers a beacon of hope and practical tips for mothers navigating these tough waters.
As Michelle says, 'When we serve others and take away our own selfishness, it helps us get to the other side and be there for somebody else, and in that reward we heal and we help others heal'. Tune in to discover how you can reclaim joy and purpose even amidst the turmoil of addiction.
