Understanding the Three Cs: Empowering Choices in Recovery

I vividly remember where I was sitting when I heard them. Once I heard that I didn't cause someone to drink, that I can't control their drinking and that I can't cure them, it was at that moment that a light bulb went off or turned on.
How do you navigate the tricky waters of alcoholism when it impacts not just you, but those around you? This episode of 'TryingtoBlowOutaLightBulb' dives into the concept of the Three Cs in recovery: you didn't cause the drinking or using, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. The host shares her personal journey with these principles, offering a heartfelt glimpse into how they've shaped her path to sobriety. This isn't just about her story, though.
You'll also hear about the broader impact of alcoholism on loved ones and the paralyzing fear that often accompanies decision-making in such a fraught environment. Al-Anon is spotlighted as a beacon of support for those struggling to find their footing. As Black History Month is celebrated, this episode also underscores the importance of supporting people of color on their unique recovery journeys.
If you're looking for a meeting between meetings, or just some encouragement to take control of your choices, this episode offers both insight and solace.
