Step 3: Letting Go of Control and Finding Peace in Recovery

from Impact Recovery · host Impact Recovery Center

For this episode of the Impact Recovery Podcast, host Sarah Pritchard welcomes Kathleen Saucier back for Part 3 of the family recovery mini-series as they explore the powerful lessons found in Step Three: "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." Kathleen breaks down what it truly means to surrender control, explaining how our "will" represents our thoughts and our "lives" represent our actions. Together, Sarah and Kathleen discuss why families affected by addiction often struggle with the desire to fix, manage, or control their loved one's recovery and how Step Three invites us to release that burden. Throughout the conversation, they explore the difference between making a decision and taking action, the importance of staying present instead of living in fear of the future, and how faith, mindfulness, prayer, and meditation can help families find peace amid uncertainty. Kathleen also shares personal experiences, powerful moments of surrender, and practical tools like the Sick Man's Prayer to help family members respond with compassion rather than anger. Whether your loved one is actively struggling with addiction, in recovery, or you're navigating your own healing journey, this episode offers valuable insight into finding freedom, acceptance, and hope by letting go of what was never ours to control.
