We will get through this and the other side is such a great place to be, but it's not somewhere you can get us to by rushing us.
Life throws curveballs, and for those in recovery, these challenges can feel even more overwhelming. In this episode of the HammeredRecovery Podcast, Justin Hammerback dives into the messy, uncomfortable world of loss and grief. Drawing inspiration from Megan Devine's book, It's OK that you're not OK, Justin sheds light on how to navigate the emotional turmoil that often accompanies early sobriety. He emphasizes that pain isn't something to be fixed but rather something to be acknowledged and lived with.
By sharing his personal experiences, Justin offers a raw and relatable perspective on dealing with the loss of one's old self due to addiction. He also discusses the concept of the hierarchy of loss, which can sometimes make individuals feel their struggles are less valid compared to others. Throughout the episode, Justin encourages listeners to find solace and support in groups like AA, where they can connect with others who understand their journey.
With a message of hope and resilience, he reminds everyone that while the road may be tough, there is a brighter side waiting. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that it's okay to not have all the answers and that seeking support is a strength, not a weakness.
