I look at the father as the support group that you're going to have in recovery. And then there's the older brother, and you're going to find plenty of those as well- the one that is absolutely disgusted with the choices that you have made, bitter about you coming back and asking for forgiveness, and that really is a metaphor for the doubters.
Feeling overwhelmed by the negative impact of social media on your mental health? In this episode of the HammeredRecovery Podcast, Justin Hammerback dives into how platforms like Twitter can affect our mood and shares his personal strategies for cutting out the negativity. Ever found yourself obsessing over 'likes' and downloads? Justin breaks down why these metrics shouldn't define our happiness and offers insights from 'The Four Agreements' to help you not take things personally.
The episode then takes a heartfelt turn as Justin reflects on the story of the Prodigal Son. He likens himself to the wayward son, his recovery community to the welcoming father, and the doubters to the bitter older brother. Through this powerful metaphor, he emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive network while setting boundaries to keep negativity at bay. Justin also highlights the value of daily blogging and repeating recovery principles to reinforce your journey.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and a fresh perspective on dealing with critics and embracing support. Tune in to find out how you can spread the word about valuable recovery resources and build a positive mindset.
