If you don't, if you're not proactive about finding that peer support, the people around you will by default become that for you, and they are not, most likely not qualified, and it can cause some rocky relationships, and I'm speaking from personal experience.
Feeling alone on your sobriety journey? You’re not the only one. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into the vital role that community and peer support play in staying sober. Tawny opens up about her first year of sobriety, where she leaned heavily on family and friends who, while well-meaning, just didn’t get it. It’s a heartfelt reflection on why finding the right kind of support can make all the difference.
Lisa and Tawny discuss various ways to connect with others who are on the same path, from online support groups to in-person meetings. They get real about the struggles and benefits of each, especially in the context of the pandemic, which has made face-to-face interactions more challenging but also more precious. The episode also touches on the concept of 'refunded misery'—the idea that without proper support, you might find yourself back in old, harmful patterns.
The Music Minute adds a fun twist with mentions of The Beatles, Grateful Dead, and Soul Asylum, showing how music can be a comforting companion on this journey. Whether you’re just starting out or have been sober for years, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to seek out a community that understands and supports you.
