I've spent much of my life desperately and vainly trying to do the impossible and feeling like a failure when I couldn't. By surrendering to powerlessness, I gained the presence of mind to stop wasting my time and energy, trying to change and control that which I cannot change and control. It gives me permission to stop trying to do the impossible and focus on what is possible being who I am, loving myself, feeling what I feel, and doing what I want to do with my life.
Ever tried to control everything around you, only to end up feeling defeated? In this episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea shares a recent recording from the Shitshow Support group, where members dive into ACA Step 1: admitting powerlessness and recognizing unmanageability. It's a heartfelt session where folks openly discuss their battles with codependency, trauma, and addiction. They reflect on how their childhoods shaped these struggles and the importance of surrendering control.
One poignant reading from 'Language of Letting Go' highlights the futility of trying to change others and the peace that comes with acceptance. You'll hear raw and honest stories from people who've walked similar paths, offering a sense of community and understanding. If you're grappling with past traumas or challenging relationships, this episode provides a safe space to explore those feelings and find support among kindred spirits.
