I have people in my life that I can talk to so that I don't have to turn back to alcohol or drugs. Right, I have those people in my life now that are going to support me and I can call them up and say: listen, it's two in the morning, but I got to talk, I need coffee and I encourage my friends all the time, and some of them don't take me up on it.
Feeling overwhelmed by the concept of powerlessness in early recovery? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Better Life in Recovery', the hosts dive deep into what it means to feel powerless and why it's such a tough pill to swallow, especially when you're just starting out. Using an acrostic from Celebrate Recovery, they break down the idea of powerlessness into manageable chunks, helping you understand its roots and how it impacts your journey to sobriety.
The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing what you can and can't control, and how trying to manage the unmanageable only leads to losing your peace of mind. But it's not all about the struggles. The hosts also share practical tips on surrounding yourself with positive influences—people, places, and things—that can help you stay on track. They discuss the pitfalls of selfishness in relationships and offer advice on dealing with loneliness and stress by reaching out honestly and seeking support.
If you're looking for real-world advice on navigating the early stages of recovery while maintaining hope and positivity, this episode is a must-listen.
