If you don't pick up a drink or you don't pick up a drug and pour that on top of what's already going on with you, you stand a better chance of a happier life.
Ever felt like you're the only one struggling with depression or anxiety while trying to stay sober? You're definitely not alone. In this episode of the Clean Dreams Recovery Podcast, host Lucy brings together Robert W., Lainey G., and Joe H. to have an honest chat about the 10th step of Alcoholics Anonymous, dealing with mental health issues, and navigating conflicts during recovery. This isn't just another lecture; it's a candid conversation packed with real-life stories and practical advice.
Robert W. kicks things off by diving into the 10th step, which focuses on self-reflection and accountability. He stresses that keeping a check on your spiritual condition can prevent those knee-jerk reactions that often lead to relapse. It's a reminder that staying sober isn't just about avoiding alcohol—it's about maintaining a balanced emotional and spiritual life. Lainey G. opens up about her personal battles with depression and anxiety, emphasizing the importance of seeking professional help.
Her message is clear: it's okay to ask for help when you need it. 'If you have something that needs to be attended to, then let the professionals help', she advises, shedding light on the importance of mental health care in recovery. The conversation takes a turn towards conflict resolution, where the guests share their experiences with managing expectations and avoiding unnecessary confrontations. Joe H.
talks about how projecting his own expectations onto others only led to more conflict and stress. His story serves as a powerful lesson in humility and understanding. Throughout the episode, the guests highlight the significance of human connection and humility in recovery. By acknowledging their own flaws and leaning on others for support, they show that recovery is a journey best taken together. 'I do need other people and I can't choose the people I need', one guest poignantly notes.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone navigating the ups and downs of sobriety. Whether you're struggling with mental health issues or just looking for some practical advice on managing conflicts, you'll find valuable insights here. Tune in for an inspiring and supportive discussion that reminds us all that it's okay to be wrong.
