We need to acknowledge what this disease is doing and how it is affecting our family, our well-being and ourselves. We begin to realize we have been in denial.
Imagine feeling completely powerless as your loved one battles addiction. In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovering from My Child's Addiction,' Shelly Summers dives into the first step of the Nar-Anon Program, focusing on the initial 17 questions designed to help family members navigate their complex emotions. Shelly shares her own experiences, offering a candid look at the feelings of fear, anxiety, and helplessness that often accompany a loved one's addiction.
Through these questions, she encourages listeners to explore their own thoughts and behaviors, shedding light on how they've tried to control the uncontrollable. The episode emphasizes the importance of self-care, support groups, and finding a sponsor to help family members regain a sense of balance and well-being. By acknowledging their powerlessness over the addict's actions, listeners can begin to let go of their need for control and focus on their own recovery.
Shelly's compassionate approach provides a safe space for listeners to confront their denial and recognize the profound impact addiction has on their lives. Tune in for an episode that offers both practical advice and emotional support, guiding families toward healing and hope.
