Mike and Jo: Breaking Free from Para-Alcoholism and Codependency

These are survival traits that you learn in not only an alcoholic home- this is really important to get- but in any dysfunctional home.
Have you ever found yourself constantly putting others' needs before your own? Mike and Jo, the dynamic duo from 'Thru the Wringer', tackle this very issue in their episode on para-alcoholism and codependency. Borrowing a memorable line from the movie *Runaway Bride*, they dive deep into the tendency many of us have to focus on others at the expense of our own well-being.
Drawing from their personal experiences, Mike and Jo shed light on how these dysfunctional traits often stem from growing up in any kind of troubled home, not just those affected by alcoholism. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness and self-care, reminding us that recognizing our own worth is crucial for recovery. Their conversation isn't just theoretical; it's filled with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement to help listeners start prioritizing their own growth.
The episode also touches on how these behaviors can spill over into the workplace, affecting professional relationships and productivity. Mike and Jo offer tips on how to navigate these challenges and reclaim your sense of self in all areas of life. They discuss the significance of seeking support from others and finding strength in a higher power, highlighting the universal nature of these struggles. Listeners will find Mike and Jo's candid approach both relatable and inspiring.
Their mix of humor, honesty, and practical advice makes complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable. If you're ready to start focusing on your own recovery and break free from the cycle of codependency, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how you can begin your journey towards self-worth and healthier relationships.
