This is a program of putting everything down, all of my preconceived notions about the way life is supposed to work, with my immature thinking, which could flow from trauma, which can flow from a dysfunctional upbringing.
Ever wondered how to achieve emotional balance while battling addiction? In this episode of OA RISE, Deb G. opens up about her journey towards emotional sobriety. Through her heartfelt narrative, she shares the practical tools and insights that have helped her find peace and stability. Deb emphasizes the importance of the Big Book in understanding addiction's mental and physical aspects. It's not just about avoiding certain foods but recognizing the deeper issues that drive compulsive behaviors.
She also sheds light on how self-centeredness and ego can hinder relationships and personal growth, making emotional sobriety even more challenging. A key takeaway from Deb's talk is the role of spirituality in recovery. She explains that turning your life over to a higher power doesn't necessarily mean being religious; it's about acknowledging something greater than yourself that can guide you towards healing.
Additionally, Deb discusses the value of service and giving back, suggesting that helping others can be a powerful way to maintain emotional sobriety. Therapy also plays a crucial role in her story. Addressing past traumas and dysfunctional upbringing can unblock immature thinking patterns, making it easier to trust and achieve emotional balance. By embracing maturity and letting go of preconceived notions about life, Deb believes we can all find a new way of thinking that supports our recovery journey.
