All you can ever strive for is progress and not perfection
Ever wondered if there's a shortcut to recovery? In this episode of the HammeredRecovery podcast, Justin Hammerback dives into the tough reality that there isn't an 'easier, softer way' to beat addiction. Kicking things off with a nod to his favorite local band, Love Songs for Angry Men, Justin sets a relatable tone for a heartfelt discussion on the ups and downs of the recovery journey.
Justin breaks down the similarities between Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), emphasizing the importance of finding a recovery path that truly resonates with you. He shares a personal anecdote about an audiobook that fell flat for him, contrasting it with the solace he found in AA's Big Book. This episode underscores the value of attending meetings, securing a sponsor, and diligently working through the steps to achieve lasting sobriety.
Early recovery is no walk in the park, and Justin doesn’t sugarcoat it. He openly discusses the hurdles one might face and stresses that progress is more important than perfection. His candidness offers a comforting reminder that it’s okay to stumble as long as you keep moving forward. Music also plays a therapeutic role in Justin's recovery toolkit. He talks about how listening to music with a positive mindset can be incredibly uplifting.
As a parting note, he encourages listeners to check out the song 'Living Hope' for its inspiring lyrics. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with practical advice and genuine encouragement. Tune in to hear Justin's honest take on what it takes to navigate the rocky road of recovery.
