Summary
You've probably heard the expression, "Let go and let God." And at times it can be a helpful mantra. But I disagree with this saying when you love someone suffering from addiction (or even with unhealthy relationships with friends or family).
In our community, we believe that it's 100% OK to take control of your own life and feelings. You're a grown, wonderful, smart adult who knows what's best for YOU.
Click to hear this week's episode about how taking control of your life is the responsible, healthy thing to do. (Even if that means doing some good 'ole self-talk in the laundry room sometimes).

| 1:10.5 | because painful things happen to everyone so duh. right because |

| 2:08.0 | England and I don't know if any of you guys know anyone from England or you might be English yourself but the |
| 2:16.1 | English sense of humor is very like they tease people and they kind of get close |
