Healing Through Loss: Spencer's Journey on The Recovery Show

The power of acceptance has had in my life over the last years, decades, as I came to recognize that as a tool, that in accepting things as they are, I can then free myself to find the gratitude, to find the sadness and to experience the grieving without denying it, without shoving it down, without the anger that I had for so long.
How do you cope with loss and grief when you're already navigating the stormy seas of addiction recovery? In this episode of The Recovery Show, Spencer takes the mic to share his deeply personal experiences with loss and grief. Invited to lead an online meeting, he opens up about how these heavy emotions have shaped his journey and how he's found a sense of peace through acceptance.
Spencer doesn't go it alone; he brings in voices from the community who share their own stories and coping strategies. These guests discuss the double-edged sword of dealing with addiction and grief simultaneously, offering practical tools and heartfelt advice. One of the standout themes is the power of community and shared experiences in the healing process. The episode underscores the importance of acknowledging your feelings, practicing forgiveness, and making amends as part of the journey to serenity.
Whether you're grappling with a recent loss or still healing from past wounds, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful look at how to find peace amidst the pain.
