I have had issues with that word. I did not understand it. I was mad when it was suggested to me.
My friend is going through addiction with her husband and she shared this with me. Many of you know, get it and buy into it. This is for those of us who are still struggling and any of us with minors who we are responsible for and this line becomes so foggy. And I just want to know how to turn off my own brain and heart. Why is this so hard?
Definition of detach in the handbook:
Detaching is letting go of worry, fear, obsessive behaviors, and to stop focusing on the addiction of others. To detach with love allows us to let go of any efforts to control, manipulate, or force the recovery of another. Detaching prevents suffering in our own lives by concentrating on our own recovery and healing. We let go and let God. We nurture ourselves spiritually, emotionally and physically, and let go of any thoughts and behaviors that can impair our spiritual and emotional health. (They should have included physical here as well as earlier in the sentence.)
