This story offers a glimpse into Tina’s struggle with codependency, financial hardship, and broken patterns of control, and how, through honest self-examination, community, and a deeper integration of her Catholic faith, she finds freedom, healing, and a renewed way of living.
REFLECT
- Tina’s story reveals how codependency led her to lose herself while trying to control or fix another person. Where in your life are you overly focused on someone else’s behavior at the expense of your own well-being?
- Through Al-Anon, Tina began to learn the difficult but freeing process of letting go. What would it look like for you to release control over someone else and entrust them to God?
- As a Secular Carmelite, Tina rediscovered her identity and spiritual grounding through recovery. How is God inviting you to rediscover your identity, not through others’ struggles, but through your relationship with Him?
