Reclaiming Control: When “Let Go and Let God” Falls Short

I don't think, when it comes to addiction or it comes to relationships that are unhealthy for us, that we should let go, that we should lose control because that is when we are being called to behave as responsible adults for our lives and our own feeling, and actually exercising control is the responsible, healthy thing to do.
Ever felt like the phrase 'Let go and let God' just doesn't cut it when you're dealing with a loved one's addiction? Michelle Anderson gets it. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', she opens up about why sometimes taking control is the healthiest choice you can make. Michelle dives into the impact of codependency and how our childhood experiences shape our adult relationships.
She shares her own stories and practical tips on self-talk and replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. It's not just about letting go; it's about knowing when to take the reins. Michelle also discusses the importance of community support and the challenges of financial constraints in seeking help. This episode is packed with insights on fostering healthy relationships, making tough decisions, and finding positivity even in the face of online negativity.
If you're looking for a blend of encouragement, practical advice, and a touch of humor, this one's for you.
