Healthy dependence doesn't mean that we expect others to rescue or take care of us. It means that we can depend on the people we care about to be there for us and they can depend on us to do the same for them.
Loneliness can be one of the toughest hurdles in early recovery. Imagine cutting ties with your old world and stepping into a new one, only to feel isolated. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', William C Moyers sits down with Beverly Conyers, author of 'The Recovering Heart: Emotional Sobriety for Women', to explore how emotional sobriety can help build healthy relationships during recovery.
Though her book is written for women, the insights shared are universal and can resonate with anyone on this journey. Conyers delves into the idea of mutual dependency, which isn't about leaning on others to save us, but rather about being there for each other in a balanced way. It's about forming connections where both parties can rely on one another without losing their independence.
Moyers and Conyers discuss the delicate dance between independence and dependence, highlighting how understanding our past and tapping into our inner strengths are crucial for healing. They also emphasize that healthy relationships are essential for personal growth, as they nurture and support us, unlike unhealthy ones that diminish our well-being. By addressing these elements, recovery becomes not just about overcoming addiction but also about building a positive sense of self and taking control of one's life.
Tune in to hear Moyers and Conyers discuss the importance of mutual dependency in fostering genuine connections and overcoming social isolation in recovery.
