When you go to meetings, be aware and ask yourself: am I inappropriately and wrongly comparing out from the people that are in the meetings? If you're still thinking about that, I really hope and pray that somewhere in one of these podcasts, you're listening to you make that decision and you realize that this is the better way.
Ever felt like you're the odd one out in a 12-Step meeting? Michael Van Meter knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', he dives into the concept of 'comparing out' versus 'comparing in'. Drawing from his own journey with addiction, Michael explains how focusing on differences can lead to isolation and hinder recovery. Instead, he encourages listeners to 'compare in'—to see the shared struggles and triumphs among those in recovery.
By embracing these commonalities, you can build a stronger foundation for your own journey. Michael also highlights the importance of active participation in meetings and self-awareness to avoid denial. This episode is a heartfelt guide to finding your place in the recovery community and building a network of support. Tune in and discover how recognizing similarities can be a game-changer in your recovery.
