39 - Want to Help Them Get or Stay Sober? Start Here

You love them.... More than anything.

And you’d do anything to help them find their way through this. To get sober. Stay sober. Choose recovery. Stay in recovery.

But if you're honest?

You're exhausted.

Your heart is tired from hoping.

Your brain won’t stop spinning—thinking, overthinking.

You keep showing up, holding it all together…

But somewhere along the way, you got lost.

Maybe you feel like if you just love them harder… support them better… say the right thing… they'll finally turn the corner.

But despite everything you’re doing it still feels like you’re walking on eggshells, bracing for the next wobble.

Here’s the loving truth that may be hard to hear:

You cannot make someone do or not do something.

But you can support them in a healthy and helpful way without losing yourself in the process.

And it's all in the grey and nuanced middle.

In this raw and real episode, Amanda speaks directly to the silent struggle so many carry:

🤍 The internal conflict and doubt

🤍 The quiet guilt of wondering if you’re doing enough

🤍 The fear of what might happen if you let go, even just a little

And most importantly:

🤍 How to begin finding yourself again even here. Even now.
