Our common goal is that my son learn the things that he needs, while I also learn the things that I need to be sober for him to live a sober life and for me to stop enabling him and help him to be empowered to live the life that he wants to live.
What do skydiving and addiction recovery have in common? For Crystal Merck, the answer is trust. In this episode of 'Hopeful Living', Crystal takes us on a thrilling journey from 14,000 feet in the air to the depths of personal growth. Just before her 50th birthday, Crystal decided to leap out of a plane, an experience that taught her more than just the thrill of freefall. It became a powerful metaphor for her recovery journey.
As she plummeted through the sky, she learned to let go and trust – not just in the parachute but in herself and her process of healing. Through her story, Crystal shares how vulnerability and self-care are intertwined with trust, drawing parallels between the courage it takes to jump from a plane and the bravery needed to face addiction.
She discusses how this daring act helped her practice her values and how it influenced her approach to recovery, both for herself and her son. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on navigating the challenges of addiction within a family context. Crystal's candid reflections on embracing new experiences and the importance of self-trust offer a fresh perspective on recovery.
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that promises to leave you feeling uplifted and ready to take your own leaps of faith.
