I think that kind of leads into a good point of trying to avoid victim stance, trying to avoid being the victim where they may be working on themselves, but just because it's not going at the same speed that we want it to, or maybe they're having A Bad Day, we don't want to allow that to kick us into victim stance where it's like: oh man, they're not making any progress.
Living with other addicts while trying to maintain your own recovery can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode of 'The 12th Step Podcast', hosts Gary, Mike, and Daniel tackle this tricky subject, spurred by a listener's heartfelt email. Joining them is Shane Harmon, a seasoned LCSW and CSAT therapist, who brings his professional expertise to the table. They dive into practical strategies for setting boundaries and ensuring your own recovery isn't derailed by those around you.
The conversation covers the importance of building a robust support system, including therapists, sponsors, and mentors, who can offer guidance and encouragement when things get tough. A key point they stress is avoiding the trap of a victim mentality; it's crucial to stay focused on your own progress, regardless of others' actions. This episode is packed with real-life advice and compassionate insights that can help anyone navigating the complexities of recovery in a challenging living environment.
Tune in for an honest discussion that offers hope and practical tools for maintaining your path to healing.
