If we were completely anonymous, well, first we would break math. Yeah, and, and it's funny, you know some of the people that I love the most and respect the most you know in recovery now are people that are very anonymous in their lives and professional careers, and they, you know, wholeheartedly feel that it would be a detriment to them to come out and maybe a detriment to their business or a detriment to you know, whatever, and I totally appreciate that.
Ever wondered if staying anonymous in your recovery journey might be holding you back? Billy and Jason tackle this very question in this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast'. They dig into the complexities of anonymity and self-disclosure, exploring how these principles can protect us but also potentially reinforce societal stigma against those in recovery.
The hosts share their own stories and struggles with revealing their recovery status in different aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional settings. They discuss the fear of judgment and the impact it has on one's willingness to disclose their journey, as well as the potential consequences of staying hidden. But it's not all heavy stuff—Billy and Jason bring their usual blend of humor and heartfelt conversation to the table, making this episode both enlightening and engaging.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into finding the right balance between protecting your privacy and advocating for yourself and others. Tune in for a candid discussion that challenges you to rethink your own approach to anonymity and self-disclosure.
