I used to think well, and again it wasn't for me at that time. Yeah, and it, I guess for me that falls into a lot of like, the harm reduction ideas and things around that. Like, I think that that's what we do, at least in narcotics anonymous, and I think that that's the right path for people that choose to be in narcotics anonymous, like I would can make that argument, but I don't know that that's the right path for every person.
Ever find yourself clinging to beliefs you later realized were completely off? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason take a trip down memory lane to revisit ideas they once held as gospel truth in their recovery journeys, only to later see them as harmful. From the insistence that Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is the one-size-fits-all solution to the notion that everyone should follow their exact path to sobriety, they unpack it all.
The duo candidly discusses how sharing opinions as facts can be damaging and why it's crucial to embrace individualized recovery paths. They even touch on controversial topics like 13th stepping and harm reduction, highlighting the importance of therapy and external support. The episode serves as a reminder that growth in recovery often means questioning long-held beliefs and being open to new methods. Billy and Jason emphasize love over shame, urging listeners to support those still struggling with addiction.
Their reflections offer valuable insights for anyone navigating their own recovery or supporting someone else on their journey.
