Embracing Self-Love: Navigating Body Image, Relationships, and Sexuality in Recovery
We have to eat right to nourish our bodies, release weight if we need to, but get the love we've been needing in the proper avenues, not from the sugar, not from the food, and that you know this about you.
Imagine finally reaching a place where you can truly love and accept your body. In this episode of OA RISE, Cathy, Rossi, and Dee take you on a heartfelt journey through the intricate topics of body image, relationships, and sexuality. These three aspects often become more pronounced once we embrace abstinence and work through the 12 steps. The speakers share their personal battles and triumphs with body image, discussing how they've learned to stop self-abuse and start loving themselves.
It's about moving freely, living fully, and growing continuously. Relationships also take center stage as the speakers reflect on how meaningful connections can be both a source of pain and a pathway to unimaginable joy. Drawing inspiration from Bill Wilson's words, they talk about achieving peace and partnership with others. As they delve deeper into sexuality, the conversation turns intimate and sincere. They explore how recovery has helped them love themselves, their higher power, and others without fear.
The episode is rich with stories of transformation, urging listeners to embrace openness, honesty, and a touch of humor. It's about finding love in healthy places rather than turning to food or sugar for comfort. Tune in for an inspiring session that promises to leave you feeling empowered and ready to embrace self-love on your recovery journey.
