If our point B, our sobriety, isn't a welcoming, loving environment, then it'll be that much harder not to return to the addiction and not return to the original oppressive situation.
Ever wondered what cults, abusive relationships, and addiction have in common? In the 'Susie' episode of Detox Podcast, Denise Walker tackles this intriguing question while shedding light on the cyclical nature of recovery. Forget the idea that healing follows a straight path; Denise argues it's more like a loop with ups and downs. She dives deep into her own journey through addiction and sobriety, sharing personal stories that make you feel less alone in your struggles.
Denise emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for those in recovery. She offers practical tips for friends and family members on how to provide this sanctuary, making it clear that love and understanding are crucial. For those navigating their own recovery, she suggests finding supportive online communities where you can connect with others who truly get it.
The episode also delves into how we've been bombarded with alcohol propaganda from a young age, affecting our self-trust and perceptions. Denise talks about the significance of setting small, achievable daily goals and grounding oneself in 'fertile soil' to foster growth. 'Creating a Safe Space for Recovery' is an episode filled with hope and practical advice, offering a fresh perspective on the journey to sobriety.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps to make the path a little smoother.
