The 12th step is meant to be for the recovery community. Making your job in recovery isn't really part of your 12th step.
Ever thought about what it's like to work in the recovery industry while you're on your own recovery journey? This episode of the Sober Grind Podcast, hosted by Pej and Austin from Beginnings Treatment Centers, dives right into that tricky balance. They chat about the overlaps, the pitfalls, and the absolute no-nos when mixing personal recovery with a career in the same field. It's a delicate dance, and the hosts are here to guide you through it.
One interesting point they bring up is that while the 12th step of the recovery program focuses on community support, turning it into a job isn't exactly what it's meant for. But don't worry, they also talk about the real-world career opportunities for people in recovery, especially for those who might have a patchy work history or past legal troubles. Ever heard of reflexology?
They discuss it as one of several alternative stress relief methods to help you avoid burnout while working in this demanding field. If you're curious about how to navigate a career in recovery or just want to hear some practical advice on managing stress and finding your path, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an honest, insightful discussion that might just give you the inspiration you need.
