In a nutshell, I have to admit that my attitude amounts to a whole mountain of wrong and unless I change, that mountain's going to fall on me One Day.
Imagine standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing that the first step is the hardest but also the most crucial. That's exactly what JJ Chance dives into in this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting'. JJ, a recovering alcoholic, opens up about the monumental task of confronting Step One in the twelve-step program: admitting powerlessness over alcohol and recognizing the chaos it brings to one's life. JJ doesn't sugarcoat the struggle.
They recount the endless cycle of self-pity and destructive behavior that alcohol fueled. But this episode isn't just about the dark times. It's about the moment JJ realized that alcohol was just a piece of a much larger puzzle. They needed a complete overhaul of their outlook on life. This shift in attitude was transformative. Instead of dwelling on negatives, JJ began to appreciate the beauty and abundance in their life.
They emphasize the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and committing to positive change. Throughout the episode, JJ shares valuable insights into the recovery process, stressing the need for support and help. They provide a list of resources like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Smart Recovery, and Turning Point for those seeking a way out of addiction. The key takeaway? Recovery is possible with a committed attitude and a willingness to seek help.
JJ's candid story serves as a beacon of hope, reminding listeners that no matter how tough the journey, there's always a path to a brighter future.
