I know Today that I've recovered a part of myself that was lost. But I think what it what it is is wonderful about our sobriety journey- that it's ok to continue to recover.
What does it mean to be 'recovered' versus 'recovering' in the world of sobriety? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Canadian Sober Eh!', Doug M sits down with John to dissect a powerful quote from Alcoholics Anonymous: 'We of Alcoholics Anonymous are more than 100 men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body'.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the nuances of these terms and what they signify for those on their journey to sobriety. John opens up about his personal experiences, treating alcoholism as a mental condition, and the steps outlined in the AA basic text that have guided him. He emphasizes the importance of living a principled life and finding a sense of belonging in sobriety.
Both Doug and John share the belief that helping others is a cornerstone of their own sobriety, discussing practical solutions and Dr. John's approach to staying sober. They also acknowledge that the journey of recovery is ongoing, and it's okay to continue evolving. Doug wraps up the episode by highlighting the supportive community that 'Canadian Sober Eh!' offers. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the dynamics of recovery and seeking inspiration from real-life stories.
