But the reality of it is that recovery is not a microwave result... Recovery is a new life, right, it's just.
Ever wondered what happens after someone shares their raw, unfiltered recovery story? In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', host Ashley Loeb Blassingame and producer Christiana Kimmich take a deeper dive into the aftermath of Ashley's candid interview. They reflect on the overwhelming response from listeners and address key points raised by the community. Ashley opens up about the fear she felt sharing her story due to the stigma surrounding addiction.
She highlights that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but taking action despite it. The conversation shifts to the essence of recovery, emphasizing that it’s not just about overcoming substance abuse but healing from various life challenges. Ashley and Christiana discuss the daily practices that support long-term recovery, like meditation, exercise, and connecting with others in recovery. They stress that recovery is an ongoing journey, likening it to peeling back layers of an onion.
Each layer reveals more about oneself, and that's perfectly okay. The duo also touches on the importance of joy and finding activities that bring meaning to life. Workshops and meetings, which can be accessed from your phone or computer, play a crucial role in maintaining recovery. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is a continuous process of growth and change, filled with moments of joy and self-discovery.
