I don't have that power to know what you need to do to fix things. And if you haven't heard that expression, that hula hoop. I am a limited human being and most of the time it's as much as I can do- maybe more than I can do- to take care of my own stuff, and I should not be trying to take care of your stuff too.
Ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? In this episode of The Recovery Show, Spencer shares a heartfelt and honest account of his journey towards understanding that he isn't responsible for fixing everything—or everyone. Reflecting on his attempts to control his first wife's alcoholism, Spencer opens up about the realization that trying to 'play God' only added stress and frustration to his life.
He candidly admits, 'I am a limited human being, and most of the time it's as much as I can do—maybe more than I can do—to take care of my own stuff, and I should not be trying to take care of your stuff too'. This episode isn't just about Spencer's story; it's a broader message about the importance of accepting our limitations and finding peace in letting go.
Spencer discusses how forgiveness and releasing resentment have been crucial in his recovery journey. Holding onto anger, he explains, only steals our own happiness. If you're looking for insights on how to stop trying to control others and start focusing on your own serenity, this episode offers valuable lessons. Tune in to hear Spencer's experiences and perhaps find a bit of peace in your own journey.
