Bruce's Journey: The Healing Power of Sharing Your Story
“If you're a pretty solid at some point and you just want to start jotting down notes about situations with the thought that maybe one day this is a worthwhile story to tell, do that shit, because that's a good therapy practice anyway just writing about it to kind of get it out.”
Ever thought about putting your life story into a book? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason sit down with Bruce, the author of 'Don't Count Me Out', to explore the therapeutic and inspiring journey of writing about addiction recovery. Bruce opens up about what motivated him to turn his experiences into a book, the intentions behind sharing his story, and the challenges he faced along the way.
The conversation digs into whether going public with your recovery story aligns with the 11th tradition and what it means for personal anonymity.

The hosts and Bruce emphasize the importance of sharing one's journey to inspire others and foster a sense of community in recovery.
