The first three steps are so important to me because I feel like they're really like the launching pad for everything else that is to come in the later steps.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly start the journey of recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Nerd', Jeffrey and Troy dive into the bedrock principles of the first three steps of the twelve-step program. They unpack the significance of honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness, sharing their personal experiences and struggles along the way. These initial steps aren't just about quitting an addiction; they're about setting a strong foundation for long-term sobriety.
Honesty helps you face your addiction head-on, open-mindedness encourages you to explore a higher power, and willingness allows you to surrender control and trust the recovery process. But don't worry, this isn't about subscribing to any specific religion—it's about finding your own path to spirituality. Jeffrey and Troy also tackle the tricky topic of dealing with addictive thoughts. They share practical advice on how to put a buffer between those thoughts and actions, making it easier to stay on track.
And let's not forget the role of service in recovery. Helping others isn't just good for them; it's a vital part of healing yourself. This episode is packed with valuable insights and real talk, making it a must-listen for anyone at the beginning of their recovery journey.
