Between the work I can do and the reality of the universe I live in, things are going to be okay and I can have a life that I like.
Tim G's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. In this episode of 'AutheNick', Tim opens up about his 40-year battle with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, offering a raw and honest look into his life. Tim doesn’t just talk about his struggles; he shares the real solutions that have helped him maintain sobriety for four decades.
From working with psychiatrists to attending support groups, Tim has found ways to manage the highs and lows of mania and depression. But what truly sets this episode apart is Tim’s emphasis on the difference between encouragement and praise. He explains how focusing on being supportive rather than just giving compliments has made a significant impact on his relationships, both at work and at home. His insights into family history and addiction are equally compelling.
Tim discusses how genetics influenced his own battles but stresses that it doesn’t seal one's fate. He provides practical resources, such as NA meetings and online support, to help others on their path to recovery. Tim’s story is more than just a tale of overcoming obstacles; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar issues. His positive outlook and actionable advice offer inspiration and a sense of community for those in the trenches of their own recovery journey.
