You could get burned or you could develop a friendship, relationship in some way, connection to another person in recovery or not, that is going to make life a lot better.
What happens when trust is shattered? In this episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, Matt, John, and Steve tackle the delicate topic of rebuilding trust during recovery. They share a story about a seemingly minor trust issue that unveils deeper lessons about human insecurities and vulnerability. Ever wondered why people betray trust? The hosts dive into this question, reflecting on their own experiences during their drinking days and active addiction, where trust was often a rare commodity.
The discussion isn't just theoretical; it's grounded in their personal journeys of deception and self-reliance, and how these past behaviors have influenced their ability to trust others today. But recovery is all about growth. Matt, John, and Steve discuss how working with fellow alcoholics has been instrumental in rebuilding trust and fostering resilience. They highlight the importance of anonymity and traditions in recovery, which act as safety nets while they open up to healing connections.
This episode isn't just about acknowledging past mistakes; it's about embracing vulnerability and taking risks to find trust in oneself and others. Whether you're struggling with trust issues or seeking to understand the role of vulnerability in recovery, this episode offers a candid and supportive conversation that encourages growth and connection. Tune in to join the conversation on trust and recovery with the 'Sober Friends' podcast.
