You know, we've been building it and building it and building it, you know, throughout our addiction, you know, and through that, and that wall gets very thick and it gets very high and we just want to start chipping away.
Ever felt like fear is holding you back from starting your recovery journey? In this thought-provoking episode of Friends In Recovery, hosts Mike Miles and Ed Chionchio Sr are joined by Richie Lombardi to tackle the elephant in the room: fear. They kick off by discussing how fear can build a seemingly impenetrable wall around those struggling with addiction. Richie shares his own experiences, shedding light on how he managed to break through this barrier, one step at a time.
The trio also dives into the common excuses people use to avoid seeking help, such as family and work obligations. Mike and Ed encourage listeners to think outside the box and even let someone else take the reins when needed. Richie adds that dealing with external negativity is crucial; it's all about changing your perspective and setting healthy boundaries. One of the toughest hurdles is the fear of others finding out about your addiction, especially at work.
But as Richie points out, most employers would rather help you than lose a valuable employee. The episode wraps up with a powerful message: seeking professional help is essential. Mike and Ed emphasize that letting professionals evaluate you can make all the difference in your recovery journey. Richie concurs, urging listeners to talk about their fears and unanswered questions. This episode isn't just informative; it's a beacon of hope for anyone feeling trapped by fear in their path to recovery.
