Embracing Faith: Shelly Summers on Step 3 of Nar-Anon

If nothing else, it takes the pressure off of me for having to be completely responsible for everything. If I surrender all to God and things are a mess, it's His mess finding serenity.
Faith and surrender aren't just abstract concepts; they can be lifelines for those navigating the turbulent waters of a loved one's addiction. In this episode, Shelly Summers takes us through the final part of Step 3 in the Nar-Anon program, focusing on questions 16 to 36. Shelly, a mother who has faced the gut-wrenching reality of her son's addiction, opens up about her own journey towards faith and the role it plays in finding peace and strength.
She explores what faith means to her, how she cultivated it, and the benefits it brings. Shelly also dives into her evolving relationship with a Higher Power and how this shift has impacted her life and recovery. Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt reflections, Shelly discusses the difference between self-will and a Higher Power's will, and the steps she's taken to align her life with the latter.
This episode is not just about faith; it's about finding a way to live a better life amidst the chaos of addiction. If you're a parent grappling with similar challenges, Shelly's words might just offer the solace and guidance you need.
