Recovery and getting recovered is ultimately about recovering our selves, our spiritual or our true selves that we may have lost along the way.
Ever found yourself wondering why some people relapse despite their best efforts? Rodney Gibbons, the thoughtful host of 'Vicious Cycle Recovery Club', is here to shed some light on that. In this episode, he tackles the 12 'stupid things' that can trip up even the most committed individuals in their recovery journey. Rodney doesn't sugarcoat the reality of addiction; he starts by sharing his own painful experiences of losing loved ones and the ongoing challenge of supporting those still struggling.
His candidness sets the stage for a deep, meaningful conversation about what it really takes to stay on track. The first 'stupid thing' Rodney addresses is the mistaken belief that addiction to one substance is the only issue. He passionately argues for total abstinence, warning that any drug use can reignite the destructive cycle of addiction. Moving to the second 'stupid thing', Rodney debunks the myth that simply being sober is enough to fix all life's problems.
Through his own journey, he illustrates that genuine recovery requires more than just quitting substances; it demands a profound self-examination and continuous effort. Rodney's heartfelt reflections and down-to-earth advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. His approach is both compassionate and practical, offering listeners real tools to navigate the rocky road of recovery.
