In this insightful episode of the Neshamas Podcast, host Moshe Hanen welcomes Tzipora Zelmanowitz, a practicing attorney from Queens, New York, who has been in recovery from love addiction for over five years. Tzipora opens up about her personal journey, sharing the struggles she faced with an insatiable need for love, validation, and acceptance. This journey led her to experience rejection and fear, making her realize the impact of codependency on her life.
Tzipora discusses the societal pressures within the Jewish community to get married and start a family, which contributed to her challenges. She recounts vivid memories of emotional distress, highlighting the importance of recognizing personal boundaries and the dangers of seeking validation from those who don’t have one's best interests at heart. Through her story, listeners gain insight into the complexities of love addiction and the path to recovery.
Her turning point came during a recovery meeting where she identified with shared experiences and began to embrace self-love and acceptance. Tzipora emphasizes the role of 12-step programs in her healing process, which provided her with the tools to confront fears, resentments, and guilt. She credits her recovery to the support of fellow addicts, sponsors, and a strong community. Additionally, Tzipora has co-launched a website, Giving Voice to the Silence, a resource hub for individuals seeking recovery from various addictions.
The platform offers information on fellowships, books, and provides a safe space for those seeking help anonymously. This episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability and sharing personal journeys to inspire hope and healing. Moshe and Tzipora encourage listeners to embrace their own recovery paths with courage and to seek support in a community that understands the challenges of overcoming addiction.
