Mastering Control: Insights from Alan Charles on Addiction and Recovery

For the longest time I believed that I was in control, I had control and as long as I was able to control, things would be okay.
Imagine thinking you have a grip on everything in your life, only to realize you're spinning out of control. That's the reality Alan Charles explores in this episode of The Alan Charles Show. Drawing from his own tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery, Alan shares how his illusion of control crumbled under the weight of his cocaine dependency.
He dives into the critical topic of focusing on what we can control and letting go of what we can't, offering a lifeline to those navigating similar struggles. This episode isn't just about Alan's story; it’s a broader conversation on addiction, recovery, and reclaiming control over one's life. Alan also touches on the NFL's potential shift towards allowing cannabis as an alternative to opioids for pain management, sparking a timely discussion on evolving drug policies.
Next week promises an emotional episode with Brandy Winans, wife of the late NFL player Jeff Winans, who suffered from CTE. Other upcoming guests include Dr. Martha Reeves and Pamela D. Wilson, who will delve into toxic relationships and the stress that comes with caregiving. Alan also reflects on America's culture of excess and offers his take on what true success looks like.
This episode is a heartfelt and enlightening conversation that provides not just stories but practical advice for anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to gain valuable insights and perhaps a new perspective on what it means to truly take control.
