Once you recognize you made the mistake, you can fix it. So, a large part of that could be not wanting to face stigma. Really, it's like just having fun chatting.
Ever feel like you're hiding a part of yourself, hoping no one notices? In this episode of 'Recover Yourself', host MartinJon chats with Geoffrey Godfrey from Ideal Option about the crucial first step in recovery: admitting there's a problem. This conversation isn't for the faint-hearted, as it touches on sensitive topics like child sexual abuse, rape, and the Holocaust, so consider this a trigger warning. Geoffrey shares that recovery doesn't always mean hitting rock bottom.
Instead, it's about recognizing and confronting the issues head-on, even if they stem from painful childhood experiences. Geoffrey's approach is all about self-honesty and curiosity. He encourages listeners to look at their lives without judgment, breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction. The episode also dives into why we feel the need to escape our realities and how acknowledging this can lead to healthier coping mechanisms.
If you're in the early stages of sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on facing your demons with courage and curiosity. Tune in for an honest discussion that might just be the nudge you need to start your journey towards healing.
