We are not victims. We are victors.
In this episode of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon, also known as the Recovery Guy, brings his decades of experience to the table, discussing the powerful concept that recovery is a choice. With a blend of personal anecdotes and insights from AA literature, Robert dives into Page 4 of 'As Bill Sees It' to explore the idea that we are not merely victims of our circumstances but can choose to be victors in our recovery journey.
He shares the wisdom of a young observer, Angelina, who despite being just 15, provides profound reflections on the power of choice in recovery. Robert emphasises that recovery requires reclaiming the power we may have given away and making conscious decisions to move forward. He challenges the notion that relapse is part of recovery, instead asserting that it's part of addiction and that real recovery involves taking alcohol and drugs off the table as solutions.
The episode is filled with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is. Robert's engaging style and genuine passion for helping others shine through, offering hope and motivation to all who tune in.
