Episode notes

Join us as Wayne Giles delves deep into the nuances of control addiction in our ‘Step 3 Wayne Lived Experience Series.’ In this episode, Wayne candidly shares his personal battles with trying to control his environment—an endeavor that goes beyond mere substance abuse. He explores how this need for control is not just a side effect but the core of his challenges, emphasizing that the real issue lies in his ‘control addiction.’

Wayne discusses how his attempts to ‘arrange the lights, the scenery, and the ballet’ of his life reflect a broader struggle faced by many in recovery. This metaphor illustrates the futile efforts to manage life’s variables that ultimately lead to chaos and suffering. By confronting his desire for control, Wayne highlights a critical step in the recovery process: recognizing that drugs and alcohol are symptoms of a deeper malady.

Through his introspection, Wayne encourages viewers to examine their own lives, to identify and address the underlying compulsions that drive their behaviors. This powerful narrative fosters a better understanding of how relinquishing control can lead to genuine healing and freedom.
