I don't know that I would really change anything that I did in the past, like cause, it's hard to say cause- looking back, of course, like year old me right now is going to see The Things Year Old me was doing. I wouldn't say I have no regrets about anything, but I wouldn't.
Ever find yourself haunted by past mistakes? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara share a candid chat about the delicate balance of acknowledging past missteps without letting them define you. It all started when Tawny sent Lisa a Facebook memory of being kicked out of a Blue Oyster Cult concert, sparking a deeper conversation about the importance of looking back without staring.
They dive into personal stories of shame, regret, and the resentments that can weigh heavy on anyone's recovery journey. Lisa brings her experience with making amends in 12-Step programs, while Tawny shares how those low moments led to significant growth. The duo agrees that while it's essential to remember where you've been, it's equally important not to let it anchor you down.
The episode wraps up with a Music Minute featuring Rod Stewart and Def Leppard, adding a touch of rock and roll to the insightful dialogue. Perfect for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical wisdom on turning past regrets into stepping stones for a brighter future.
