You Can’t Do Their Pushups for Them: Why Their Recovery Isn’t Yours


Listen Later

Trying to save someone you love from addiction? This will hit hard — but it might be exactly what you need to hear.

You’ve begged. Bargained. Scheduled the rehab. Stalked their location. Researched every treatment program at 2am.

But nothing changes.

What if the problem isn’t just them?

What if your helping is actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I share a personal story — and a (slightly ridiculous but super effective) metaphor — that reframes what it really means to let go and reclaim your own peace.

You'll hear:

  • Why trying to manage someone else's sobriety never works
  • What chips, ice cream, and rehab have in common (yep, really)
  • How I got caught in a spiral of grief, fear, and guilt trying to save my sons
  • And why letting go wasn’t abandonment… it was the first step back to myself

If you’ve been drowning in someone else’s chaos, this is your permission slip to stop — and start choosing you.
