None of us needs to feel shame at using help, since we all help each other. It's no more a sign of weakness to use help in recovering from my addiction than it is to use a crutch if I have a broken leg.
Ever feel like you’re navigating recovery alone? This episode of 'Recovery Road' brings a comforting reminder that help is always within reach. Host William C. Moyers introduces two thoughtful meditations from Hazelden Publishing's beloved books, *A Day at a Time* and *If You Leave Me, Can I Come with You?*. These reflections challenge us to reach out when we need help and to stay honest about our reality.
The first meditation encourages us to accept the support of others, likening it to using a crutch for a broken leg – it’s not a sign of weakness but a step towards healing. The second meditation emphasizes the importance of facing the truth and taking responsibility for our reactions to life's challenges. Pretending everything is fine when it’s not isn’t healthy, and this meditation helps us confront our realities with courage.
Through these meditations, the episode underscores the power of group support, faith, and spirituality in finding hope and strength. It's a gentle nudge to remind us that we’re not alone on this journey. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and draw inspiration from these meditations. Tune in to find the calm amidst the chaos and bolster your path to long-term recovery.
