Am I supposed to be stopping someone else at all costs to not drink? You know other drugs, or food, or shopping, or porn, or shopping.
Imagine running into an old acquaintance from your 12-step program at a gas station. Do you intervene if they’re about to make a potentially harmful choice? In this unique episode of 'Recovery Hour', Lori Windfeldt tackles this very dilemma from the front seat of her car. Lori, a motivational speaker and coach, shares an unfiltered and raw account of her encounter with a fellow recovery member she hadn’t seen in years.
She wrestles with the question: Is it her duty to step in and stop him from buying alcohol? Recorded live and unscripted, Lori’s candid reflections shed light on the complexities of recovery, the triggers that come with it, and the sometimes overwhelming sense of responsibility felt by those in support roles. She openly discusses her own struggles with guilt and the expectations placed on her as both a recovering alcoholic and a coach.
Lori’s inner dialogue is relatable, posing questions many in recovery might ask themselves. This episode isn't just about one encounter; it dives into broader themes like the boundaries of personal responsibility, the emotional weight of recovery, and the importance of self-care for those supporting others. Lori’s conversational style, peppered with humor and honesty, makes for an engaging listen that will resonate with anyone touched by addiction. Tune in to hear Lori’s story and reflect on your own experiences.
