In episode 17 of "Courage to Change with Karen," we delve into a topic that resonates deeply with many navigating the tumultuous waters of a loved one's addiction and alcoholism: Surrender. Today, we reflect on the April 24th reading from our trusted Courage to Change Daily Reader, illuminating a transformative approach to overcoming addiction's challenges.

Karen, a recovering alcoholic addict herself, vulnerably shares her insights on the profound impact of surrender in the recovery journey. This episode is not just about the struggle of addiction; it's an exploration of the human condition—our tendency to cling to control, our battles with disappointment, and the frustration that festers when life doesn't align with our expectations.

Through Karen's compassionate guidance, listeners will discover the liberation that comes from letting go. Surrender, as depicted in this heartfelt discussion, isn't about defeat; it's about opening ourselves to new possibilities, to solutions previously shrouded by our struggles. Karen's story is a testament to the power of releasing control—not only of people and situations but of the outcomes we so desperately seek to dictate.
