With the recovery language thing, I mean obviously people that don t want to. It s riding, it s going yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you wouldn t hear it anywhere else. I think it s important, though, that, in terms of sustaining recovery, that we do take on its language.
Ever wondered how the language we use shapes our recovery journey? In this episode of 'Flat Out Recovery', Richard Woodward and his guests break down the unique vocabulary that comes with addiction and sobriety. They chat about the importance of keeping things simple, like the famous three-word slogans in AA and NA that have helped countless people stay on track.
The conversation also touches on the mental whirlwind often referred to as 'the washing machine head' and why sharing in meetings can feel daunting at different stages of recovery. Plus, they discuss how substances can mess with our brains, adding another layer of challenge to the recovery process.
If you're curious about how words can make or break your journey to sobriety, or if you just want to hear some real talk about the ups and downs of staying sober, this episode is for you.
