The effective way to cope with problems and sobriety is to turn on our consciousness. When something is wrong, we must become aware of it, acknowledge it, and discuss it with others.
Ever feel like you're stuck in your recovery journey? This episode of 'Recovery Road' might just have the answers you need. Hosted by William C. Moyers, the episode dives into the concept of conscious growth, a crucial element for anyone on the path to long-term sobriety. The discussion is anchored by an excerpt from Terence T. Gorski's book, 'Passages Through Recovery: An Action Plan for Preventing Relapse', which outlines the six stages of recovery.
Moyers doesn't just stop at theory; he introduces practical strategies for overcoming obstacles that many face during recovery. You'll learn about two contrasting approaches to problem-solving: the RADAR method and the ESCAPE method. While RADAR encourages recognizing and addressing issues head-on, ESCAPE highlights the pitfalls of evasion and denial. The episode also touches on the dangers of substituting one compulsion for another as a way to manage stress.
It’s a candid look at how short-term fixes can lead to long-term problems. Moyers emphasizes the importance of reflecting on past mistakes, staying present, and planning for the future. The insights from Hazelden Publishing offer valuable tools for anyone looking to navigate their recovery journey more effectively. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode provides actionable advice to help you keep moving forward.
