Again, it always comes back to let it begin with me, because part of my disease is that I'm still reliant on how people respond to me, or how I think people are responding to me for my sense of being okay in the world, and I'm working really hard at not being like that anymore.
Can your recovery thrive even if your loved one chooses a different path? In this episode of The Recovery Show, hosts Eric and Spencer tackle the tricky terrain of codependency and personal growth. They discuss how to navigate recovery when your partner decides to stop attending AA meetings. Ester shares her deeply personal story of facing this exact challenge. Instead of letting fear and frustration take over, she found ways to strengthen her own journey.
By embracing detachment with love, setting healthy boundaries, and focusing on her own well-being, Ester demonstrates that recovery is a personal path, not dependent on anyone else’s choices. Eric and Spencer also dive into the emotional hurdles that come with this process, such as fear and guilt, and highlight the importance of support systems like Al-Anon. This episode is a beacon for anyone grappling with codependency or looking to carve out their own recovery path.
It's a reminder that while we can't control others, we can always choose our own way forward.
