And the other part of that is, if I still view myself as all of those negative stigma-filled words- that we have, like addict, junkie, convict, if I still view myself that way, you may see me as an amazing person, but over time I'm going to wear you down to where you see me the same way I see myself.
Relationships can be tricky, especially when you're on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'Better Life in Recovery', hosts David and Josh, both seasoned in long-term recovery, open up about their personal experiences with relationships. David, married for nearly a decade, and Josh, newly in a relationship, bring different perspectives to the table. They chat about the common myths and truths surrounding relationships in sobriety, often veering off-topic but always bringing it back to valuable insights.
One key takeaway is the importance of viewing oneself and others beyond negative labels like 'addict' or 'junkie'. Instead, they stress focusing on inner beauty and self-improvement as cornerstones for building healthy relationships. Using a cell phone analogy, they illustrate the significance of knowing what you want in a relationship and not settling for less. If you're looking for practical advice peppered with humor and real-life stories, this episode offers a refreshing take on navigating relationships while staying sober.
