For me it starts in the mornings with the cup of coffee. It starts with getting in that mode, and I realized this morning I'm in a lot more gratitude, as I'm realizing that I'm turning things over to God and that He's in control.
Feeling the need to control every aspect of life is a common struggle in addiction recovery. In this episode of the 'Recovery First' podcast, Mike Todd dives into the topic of control and how letting go can actually enhance your recovery journey. Mike opens up about his own experiences, sharing how he learned to relinquish control and place his trust in a higher power.
This shift, he reveals, has been transformative, helping him navigate the ups and downs of recovery with greater ease and peace. The conversation doesn't stop there. Mike also discusses the critical issue of recovery housing and the exploitation that can occur within these environments. He highlights the work of the South Carolina Recovery Housing Association, an organization dedicated to supporting recovery housing operators and advocating for safer, more supportive living conditions.
Their efforts to distribute naloxone, a life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses, are a testament to their commitment to the well-being of those in recovery. Throughout the episode, Mike emphasizes the importance of starting each day with practices like prayer and meditation. These rituals, he suggests, can set a positive tone for the day and reinforce the mindset of surrender and gratitude.
He also touches on the importance of seeking support and practicing self-care, reminding listeners that it's okay to have both good days and bad days on this journey. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Mike's honest reflections and the actionable tips shared make it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery.
