“A good therapist can be one of our greatest allies in recovery. In fact, I encourage most recovering addicts to work with a therapist who has a deep commitment to the 12 steps, and an appreciation for the spirituality of recovery.”
– Patrick Carnes, PhD, A Gentle Path Through the 12 Steps

While S.A. Lifeline and SAL 12-Step do not provide therapy, we acknowledge that qualified therapy is a pivotal piece of working recovery for both the recovering addict and betrayed partner.

It can be insightful to compare addiction to a tree:

A (negative emotion) is the roots
B (lust) is the trunk
C (acting out) is the branches

→ B and C grow out of the roots

Branches (like our acting-out behaviors) tend to be obvious to us and others. But roots (like emotions we may be unaware of) remain hidden below the surface. In order to live in recovery, we must first become aware of the roots (our emotions) as they are the catalyst that sets our addiction cycle into motion.

Effective boundaries help us compassionately create a separation from others’ hurtful behaviors, and bring the focus back to our own needs and our desire for peace.

This purposeful detachment is often needed to put God back at our center, and progress in our own recovery.

Healthy boundaries empower us by providing a clear plan of action in moments of distress. This action plan is summed up in a simple “If/ Then” statement:

“If ____ happens, then I must do _____”

That is our plan of action. That is our boundary.

Come heal with us! Link tree in bio.

“These are the first three Steps, and how I practice the surrender process. I have learned that every time God is not at my center and I feel, lust, resentment, sadness, frustration, anger, and not good enough, then that is when I need to surrender.

I have witnessed multiple miracles in my life as I surrender and choose to give my unmanageability to my Higher Power. It has worked every single time. I continue to see that God blesses my life immensely as I practice the surrender process.”

-Member Share, SAL Book pg. 59

So much of recovery is about surrender, not just to what’s happened, but to how long healing takes.

As Kaylene T. shares in this episode, one of the hardest parts of her journey was releasing her need to speed up or control time. She wanted healing to come quickly, for trust to be rebuilt now. But real recovery doesn’t move on our timeline, it unfolds in God’s time.

When we let go of the need to rush or force the process, we open the door to peace, presence, and genuine growth.
