Today, we're diving into a crucial concept for anyone on the journey of recovery: detachment. If you're navigating the complexities of addiction, whether it's alcohol or drugs, you know how entangled our lives can become with the behaviors and struggles of others. Detachment isn't about ceasing to care; it's about reclaiming your own peace and well-being. It's about understanding that while we can offer support, we cannot control the choices of those around us. This practice is vital for our own mental health, preventing us from being pulled back into the chaos of active addiction. Tonight, we talk about Detachment Sustaining Partners: Christy, Tony, Sam, Chance, Nicole, Tina, Breanne, Joel, Martin, Ginger, Kim, Andy, Schez, Larry, Vicki, Mandi, Rebekah, Dana, Bryan, Jean.
