The big book provides a lot of experience, strength and hope, and it reinforces the notion that if you work the program, you can get a lot out of it. No one intervention is going to work for every single person, for every single issue, all the time.
Have you ever wondered what makes 12-Step Programs so effective for many people battling addiction? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes sits down with John M, the host of 'Sober Speak', to shed light on these life-changing programs. John M dives into the essentials of the Big Book and the 12 & 12, sharing practical tools and real-world advice for those starting their recovery journey.
He emphasizes that while 12-Step Programs offer valuable guidance and support, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person's path to recovery is unique, and these programs are just one of many tools available. John M also highlights the importance of working with a sponsor. He explains that while sponsors provide crucial support, the real work comes from within. The steps are a continuous process; each time you revisit them, you gain new insights and grow a little more.
This episode covers a range of important topics, including dual diagnosis, spirituality, anonymity, and post-acute withdrawal syndrome. John M provides tips on finding the right meetings and navigating the often complex world of recovery. Whether you're a counselor, coach, companion, or someone personally affected by addiction and mental health issues, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
Tune in to hear John M's insights and take the first step towards understanding how 12-Step Programs can fit into your recovery journey.
