Letting go takes love...it takes that kind of love to let go of another person, to let them fix their own lives.
How do you balance love and letting go when someone you care about is battling addiction? In this episode of 'Surviving Loving An Addict Podcast', David and Carston Millward tackle this heart-wrenching dilemma. They discuss three distinct types of love and their profound effects on both the addict and their loved ones. The episode features a poignant reading of Nelson Mandela's (or an unknown author's) poem 'Letting Go', offering a fresh perspective on loving someone 'even though'.
The Millwards emphasize the critical role of communication and explore how conditional love can impact self-worth. They also delve into the power of unconditional love and the difficult but necessary act of admitting powerlessness. This episode is a compassionate guide for anyone struggling to support a loved one through addiction, stressing the importance of caring about—not just caring for—them. It's a must-listen for those seeking to understand the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.
