Why Crying Matters in Recovery: Joe Singer's Personal Take

But you know what it all boils down to is I had forgotten to cry and I cheated myself. So maybe somebody else, just one of you needed to hear that and maybe somebody or just one of you thought the same thing. It's good for you, it's good for your recovery.
Ever thought crying was a sign of weakness? Think again. In this heartfelt episode of 'Cuttin Grass', Joe Singer gets real about the power of tears in the recovery journey. Joe isn't a therapist or a certified expert; he's just a guy who's been through the wringer and come out the other side. He opens up about a pivotal moment when he realized that bottling up his emotions was holding him back.
Joe recounts a time when he was encouraged to let the tears flow, and how that simple act of vulnerability marked a turning point in his sobriety. He had been conditioned to choke back his tears, thinking it made him strong, but it was actually hindering his progress. By sharing his story, Joe sheds light on the importance of emotional release in recovery.
Crying, he explains, is not about weakness; it's about letting go of pent-up emotions and making room for healing. But it’s not just about crying. Joe also dives into the role of fear in recovery.
