What is Unabling? Curious? Sandy Swenson Teaches Us the Fundamentals We Need.
Sandy Swenson has coined the term 'Unabling' and she takes the time to share a reading from her meditation book entitled - 'Tending Dandelions. Honest Meditations for Mothers of Addicted Children.
How does helping ourselves help the people we love? It feels so selfish and Sandy will share why it is not at all selfish.
How do we love our person and set boundaries around the disease?
Tune in to hear Sandy's boundary.
How do we learn to stop throwing the tissues at them?
The power struggle with the disease of addiction is so futile for all involved especially the person with the disease of addiction. The disease loves a target, a person or, situation to blame and justify the next use. What about thinking of it as how do we get ourselves out of the disease's crosshairs so it can not use us against our loved one.
