Breaking Down the ISM: Ashes to Rubies' Guide to Recovery

I self me, I self me, because after you put the bottle away and the pills away and you get a healthy relationship, you still got you, and so that's the part that we focus on- is growing into a relationship with God which is going to solve my ism.
Ever wondered what the 'ISM' in addiction recovery really means? In this episode of 'Ashes to Rubies', the hosts take you on a journey through the complexities of the ISM and its impact on overcoming addiction. They kick things off with a light-hearted chat about yawning—yes, yawning!—and how it can be more than just a sign of boredom or tiredness.
This quirky start leads them into a deeper discussion about peer pressure and its role as a form of the ISM. The conversation then shifts to the importance of being alert to danger signals in recovery, highlighting how impatience can spiral into resentment and self-pity. The hosts emphasize that even after quitting alcohol or drugs, the self-centered tendencies of addiction can linger. They argue that building a healthy relationship with God is crucial for overcoming these tendencies.
Spiritual practices like prayer and meditation are spotlighted as essential tools for cultivating this relationship. Relationships also get their share of attention. The hosts discuss how even in healthy relationships, people can still step on each other's toes and drive each other crazy. They stress that vulnerability and community are key to navigating these challenges. Throughout the episode, the hosts offer hope and support, reminding listeners that they don't have to face addiction alone.
They invite everyone to join their LifeLab workshop and weekly all-addictions speaker and share meeting for real-time support. If you're looking for practical advice wrapped in a warm, empathetic package, this episode is a must-listen.
