In sobriety and recovery we try to define it, explain it, fight with it and in some way keep it at bay if not let it go entirely. We had a good time discussing it. More questions were raised than answers but sometimes that's part of the whole thing.
What happens when your biggest opponent in recovery is yourself? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', the hosts tackle the complex and often misunderstood concept of ego. They dive into what ego means in the context of sobriety, how it can trip you up, and strategies to keep it in check. Instead of offering definitive answers, they raise thought-provoking questions that encourage listeners to reflect on their own journeys.
Drawing inspiration from Alan Watts, the conversation navigates self-esteem, self-importance, and the role of a higher power in letting go of ego. It's a candid discussion filled with humor and real talk, making it relatable for anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is.
If you've ever found yourself wrestling with your sense of self while trying to stay sober, this episode offers a mix of personal anecdotes and expert insights that will make you feel understood and less alone.
