What happens when you love someone struggling with addiction so much that their addiction starts consuming your life too?
In this episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason sits down with bestselling author, recovery coach, and host of the One Day at a Time Recovery Podcast, Arlina Allen.
Arlina recently celebrated 31 years of recovery—but her story is about far more than simply getting sober.
She and Jason dig into what recovery actually looks like beneath the surface: people-pleasing, self-judgment, codependency, the need to control, finding a Higher Power, rebuilding self-worth, and learning how to live from love instead of fear.
And for families, there’s an especially important message:
You can deeply love someone struggling with addiction without making yourself responsible for their recovery.
Sometimes the greatest influence we have begins when we stop trying to control the outcome and start doing our own work.
Jason and Arlina talk about the 12 Steps, emotional sobriety, letting people experience their own journey, and why healing can eventually turn some of the most painful chapters of our lives into purpose.
If you’ve been exhausted from worrying, rescuing, monitoring, fixing, or wondering what else you can possibly do to help someone you love, this conversation is for you.
There is another way to love them.
And it starts with getting unhooked.
