In this article, we discuss the importance of one's inner life or our inner space.

1. Embracing the idea that there is a victory in the surrender of old ideas in favour of a healthier way of thinking is a major and necessary factor in the journey out of an addictive life for both the addict and his loved ones.
2. The family members who embrace the idea that they are also greatly affected by addictive disorder will see that smashing a cherished illusion - that they have the power to control this disease - is sheer folly.
3. Therefore, shifting the focus from the outer world to the inner space of the family member so that she liberates herself from the 24/7 obsession with her addict is the first step in healing. \xa0 Freeing oneself from inner torment through acceptance of powerlessness paradoxically regains our own power to change from within.
4. They will understand and accept a foreign idea \u2013 that the answers to their suffering are within each of them as individuals, for themselves, and for no one else. This awakening will shine a light on the path to healing and to a joyful life that they have been longing for.
