Our perceived control of the addict was imaginary. Our happiness and serenity depends upon our ability to detach with love from the addicts and cease trying to change and control them.
Shelly Summers takes a deep dive into Step 4 of the Nar-Anon Program in this insightful episode of 'Recovering from My Child's Addiction'. Step 4 is all about making a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves, and Shelly walks listeners through questions 14 to 31. This episode focuses on trust, control, and the heavy burden of resentment. Shelly shares her personal struggles and triumphs, offering a relatable and empathetic perspective for parents dealing with a child's addiction.
She asks tough questions like, 'Do I trust my own judgment?' and 'Why do I allow someone to take advantage of me?' These questions encourage self-reflection and personal growth. Shelly also discusses the importance of trusting a higher power and the dangers of trying to control an addict's behavior. She emphasizes that letting go of control doesn't mean giving up; it means finding peace and serenity.
Shelly's candid storytelling and practical advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone affected by a loved one's addiction.
