Labeling someone as a chronic relapser doesn't give space for their journey and recovery, and it also shames them, you know, because not everybody wants abstinence as a recovery goal.
Have you ever thought about how words can shape your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Breaking Free: Your Recovery, Your Way', Liv and Tiffany tackle the often-overlooked issue of shaming language in the recovery community. Phrases like 'dry drunk', 'recovery lite', and 'chronic relapser' are more than just words—they can deeply affect those striving for sobriety. Liv and Tiffany delve into how these terms create unnecessary stigma and hinder progress.
They also discuss the stigma surrounding mental health medication in recovery and the tricky balance between privacy and safety. Robert Ashford joins the conversation, offering his perspective on how language can either support or sabotage recovery efforts. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a call to action to rethink the words we use and to embrace a more compassionate approach to recovery.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode will make you reconsider the power of your words.
