Grace means coming from a place of love when others can't. It's reaching for my husband's hand in a crowded place and giving it a squeeze to let him know I love him. It's choosing to look at the reason why someone is hurting you instead of getting stuck in the hurt.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle Anderson opens up about the journey of finding grace amid the chaos of addiction. She shares her deeply personal experiences, shedding light on how addiction can bring out the worst in us—anger, frustration, and sadness. Yet, beneath these layers of dysfunction, there's room for grace, a gentle and loving force that can transform relationships and lives.
Michelle recounts a touching moment with her 10-year-old son, who was having a meltdown over something seemingly trivial. Instead of dismissing his feelings, she chose to respond with grace, recognizing that his outburst was about more than just a pillow on the floor. This anecdote beautifully illustrates how grace isn't about loud displays of power but rather quiet acts of love and understanding. Throughout the episode, Michelle emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and forgiveness in relationships affected by addiction.
She talks about looking beyond the hurt to understand why someone is hurting you, which can be a powerful step towards healing. The episode is a reminder that kindness and thoughtfulness can make a significant difference in the day-to-day struggles of living with addiction. For anyone grappling with the complexities of loving someone with an addiction, this episode offers a beacon of hope.
Michelle's story is both inspiring and practical, providing listeners with the tools to find grace in their own lives. Tune in to discover how embracing grace can lead to healing and recovery.
