While some adult children confuse powerlessness for helplessness, there are others who dismiss the idea of admitting powerlessness as step one suggests. They secretly feel powerful in their ability to adapt to any situation or group of people they may encounter.
Ever felt like you had to do everything on your own? Monique knows that feeling all too well. Growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional home, she learned to rely only on herself, confusing powerlessness with helplessness. In this episode of ACA Tuesday Zoombox, Monique opens up about her journey to self-sufficiency and the life-changing moment when she realized it was okay to ask for help.
Her story is not just about overcoming personal struggles but also navigating racial tensions as a Latin woman in predominantly white recovery spaces. Through therapy and the support of the ACA community, Monique discovered the strength in vulnerability and the power of reaching out. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the effects of a turbulent upbringing and looking for ways to embrace support on their path to healing.
