We must let go, let go of trying to control a grown adult. If the one you love is above the age of surrendering, you cannot control them.
Ever found yourself trying to control every aspect of a loved one's addiction, only to end up feeling drained and defeated? Michelle Anderson gets it. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', she dives into the tricky concept of surrendering when someone you care about is battling addiction. Michelle opens up about her own struggles with letting go and the constant push to control outcomes.
She poses some thought-provoking questions: Are you always trying to turn a 'no' into a 'yes'? Do you find yourself tracking your loved one's every move? If these sound familiar, you're not alone. Michelle shares how she learned that surrendering isn't about giving up but about releasing the emotional grip on situations we can't control. She explains that the opposite of surrender is control, and holding onto that control can be exhausting.
Instead, she suggests focusing on self-care, setting healthy boundaries, and finding a supportive community. By doing so, you not only nurture your own well-being but also create a space where your loved one can seek recovery in their own time. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that will resonate with anyone feeling stuck in a cycle of control and frustration.
Michelle's insights offer a refreshing perspective on how letting go can lead to personal peace and possibly even inspire change in those we care about. Tune in to 'Love Over Addiction' and discover how surrendering can be a powerful tool in your journey.
