Stay curious, stay open-handed as you lift your eyes and your hands up to the father, meditating on him as your helper and your joy in the midst of chaos.
Picture this: you've been putting in the hard work on your recovery journey, but the people around you just don't seem to notice the changes. Frustrating, right? In this episode of 'Hope in Recovery', Rodney Holmstrom and Andy Petry dive into this very issue, offering practical advice on how to handle it when others don't see your progress. They share personal anecdotes and wisdom on maintaining healthy relationships while staying true to your path of recovery.

Change takes time, and it's crucial to trust the process without getting discouraged by others' perceptions.

Instead, they encourage listeners to stay grounded in their recovery journey and trust that the positive effects will eventually be recognized by those around them. Throughout the episode, they offer tips on managing difficult conversations with loved ones and staying patient with both yourself and others. If you're navigating the complexities of relationships in recovery, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you stay on course.
