I'm so much juicier and, as that old saying goes, it's not that I think less of myself, but that I think of myself less often, and that feels like heaven to me.
What if growing older could be your greatest adventure? In this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, Anne Lamott opens up about her journey through aging, self-acceptance, and radical self-love. Anne, a recovered alcoholic and bulimic, shares an excerpt from her book 'Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith', offering a glimpse into her transformative experiences within the 12-step recovery program. Anne's reflections are both touching and humorous as she talks about the physical changes and challenges that come with aging.
Yet, amidst these changes, she has discovered a profound sense of self-love and acceptance she never imagined possible. She describes herself as being 'militantly and maternally on [her] own side', highlighting her journey towards being kind to herself and learning to rest as a spiritual act. This episode isn't just about the struggles of aging; it's about finding joy and absurdity in life’s little moments.
Anne’s words are a blend of wisdom and wit, reminding us that it's never too late to learn to love ourselves just as we are. She also touches on the importance of friendships and how they play a crucial role in our recovery journeys. Whether you're dealing with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for some heartfelt wisdom on aging gracefully, Anne Lamott's insights offer a beacon of hope and inspiration.
Her reflections are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of recovery.
