Rethinking Recovery: Is Sobriety the Only Way?
You could say recovery equals healing. So when I ask, is sobriety the wrong goal...sobriety is irrelevant at that point, in my opinion.
Ever thought sobriety might not be the only path to recovery? In this intriguing episode of 'Empowered Recovery', host Nick Javas flips the script on traditional recovery goals. He argues that while sobriety is a key aspect, it shouldn't be the end-all-be-all. Instead, he champions a more holistic approach where healing and personal growth take center stage. Javas dives into the idea that recovery is a deeply personal journey, unique to each individual.
Whether someone opts for complete abstinence or finds another route that works for them, the focus should be on what brings true healing and fulfillment.

It also highlights the importance of support systems, be it through a 12-step program or a non-judgmental community. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that could change how you view your own recovery journey.
