Reconnecting with Yourself: Dr. Stephanie Covington's Guide to Self-Discovery in Recovery
When we come into recovery, we expect to focus on alcohol or drugs, or food, or sex, or money, or some combination of these. That was our addictive behavior. Recovery is about addiction, but it is about much more. It is about finding out who you are and coming to a deeper understanding of yourself.
Ever felt lost while trying to find your way back to yourself? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C. Moyers brings you an insightful conversation inspired by Dr. Stephanie Covington's book, *A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps*. While the book focuses on women, its message of self-connection is universal. Dr. Covington invites everyone, regardless of gender, to explore who they are beyond their addiction.
Moyers highlights the journey of recognizing and identifying your feelings, aligning them with your values and needs, and understanding how they influence your actions. The paradox of recovery is that healing begins by confronting the addiction that once overshadowed your true self. This episode also emphasizes the importance of self-care and staying focused on long-term recovery, especially during tough times. By the end, you'll be encouraged to ask yourself: 'Who am I? What do I feel?
What do I want?' Dr. Covington's expert guidance offers a compassionate roadmap for anyone on the path to recovery. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that promises to inspire and guide you on your journey to self-discovery.
