Living in Recovery: Beyond Just Sobriety
Recovery is owning up to our actions right or wrong and is giving up the victim role. Recovery is making amends, and not just saying we’re sorry. Recovery is action. Recovery is daily. Recovery isn’t a one-time thing, it is a lifelong journey.
When you think of recovery, what comes to mind? For many, it's simply about staying sober. But Lynn Matti, host of 'The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast', offers a richer perspective in her episode 'What Does It Mean To Live In Recovery?'. She explains that while sobriety is an essential step, true recovery goes much deeper. It's about healing, personal growth, and finding peace within yourself and with others.
Lynn emphasizes that recovery is an ongoing journey, not a one-time achievement. It's about taking daily actions, making amends, and stepping out of the victim role. She also touches on the importance of support networks and personal growth, referencing psychologist Martin Seligman's essentials for a fulfilling life: positive emotions, flow experiences, acceptance, and meaning. If you're looking for more than just sobriety, but a path to a more meaningful and peaceful life, this episode is a must-listen.
