Is Vulnerability the Key to Recovery? A Deep Dive on Soberoso
For a lot of my life in addiction, when I was struggling and actively using and drinking, I tried to hide anything that might make me look weak or appear weak, which meant if I was hurting, I didn't tell anybody about it, because I didn't want you to see that.
What if embracing vulnerability could be the secret ingredient to a successful recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of the Soberoso podcast, host Dora Gosselin tackles this very question. Inspired by the documentary 'Stutz', directed by Jonah Hill, Dora explores how being open and honest about our struggles can actually be a strength, not a weakness. She reflects on her own journey, revealing how vulnerability has played a pivotal role in her path to sobriety.
But it’s not just about personal stories; Dora delves into how vulnerability can deepen our relationships and foster genuine connections. She also touches on the powerful impact of storytelling in recovery, emphasizing how sharing our truths can break down stigmas surrounding addiction and mental health. Throughout the episode, Dora invites listeners to consider their own experiences with vulnerability and how it has shaped their lives.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the transformative power of being open and real in their recovery journey.
