The walk for me was that I, as a person that was using I, was such a good bullshitter like I was the talker of the town. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do to actually the only gift that alcoholics anonymous in the beginning, when I first went in, is just abstaining from alcohol.
Ever thought about how much impact your words can have on your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Rise and Recover', hosts Nancy and Kathy dive into the profound influence of language in the world of addiction recovery. They tackle the age-old saying, 'Don't just talk the talk, but walk the walk', breaking down both the positive and negative aspects of communication in the recovery process.
Nancy and Kathy emphasize that abstaining from alcohol and other substances is just the beginning. They explore how finding solutions, rather than placing blame, can pave the way for genuine healing. Letting go of resentments and engaging in those tough, uncomfortable conversations are also key steps they highlight. But it’s not all serious talk—self-care and the love behind our words play a crucial role too.
By being mindful of what we say and how we say it, we can not only heal ourselves but also support others on their path to recovery. The episode wraps up with a heartwarming reminder that recovery is a gift worth cherishing. Tune in to hear more about how you can harness the power of words to transform your life.
