The Power of Friendship: How Your Social Circle Shapes Your Recovery
We want to be part of your high five and I encourage you to go out there and not get flabbergasted with the world, but find a high five that can lift you up and keep you going, because we love to have you here.
Have you ever stopped to think about how much your friends influence your life? In this episode of the 'Mess It Up Podcast', the Bow Tie Guy sits down with Kevin from California to unpack the idea that we are the average of our five closest friends. This conversation dives deep into how our social circles can significantly impact our journey to recovery and personal growth.
They explore the importance of making mindful choices about who we spend our time with, especially when it comes to healing and self-improvement. Kevin and the Bow Tie Guy share personal stories that highlight the ups and downs of friendships and how these relationships have shaped their paths. They also touch on how isolation can be a stumbling block and emphasize the value of building strong connections within the church and other supportive communities.
As always, the episode wraps up with the Song of the Week, offering a nostalgic trip back with a tune from the OC Supertones. If you're looking for insights on how to cultivate a positive support system that lifts you up, this episode is a must-listen.
