  • Step One for Families: Understanding Powerlessness & Letting Go of Control

    Step One for Families: Understanding Powerlessness & Letting Go of Control
    Apr 29 2026
    In this episode of the Impact Recovery Podcast, host Sarah Pritchard introduces a new mini-series designed specifically for families navigating a loved one’s addiction or recovery journey. Joined by Kathleen, this conversation takes a deep dive into Step One—what it really means to admit powerlessness and how unmanageability shows up not just in addiction, but in the lives of those surrounding it. They break down the realities families face: the constant worry, the attempts to control outcomes, and the emotional toll of trying to “fix” someone else’s disease. This episode also explores the concept of addiction as a family disease, the three-part nature of the illness (body, mind, and spirit), and the importance of shifting focus back to your own side of the street. You’ll learn about the “Three Cs” (you didn’t cause it, you can’t control it, and you can’t cure it), why boundaries matter, and how letting go of control can actually create space for healing—for both you and your loved one. Whether your loved one is in active addiction or recovery, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and practical insight to help you navigate the process in a healthier way.

Whether you are struggling yourself or trying to understand a loved one, this is an honest, straightforward look at addiction and the path forward.
