We come to feel in some indefinable sense that we deserve to be loved even more.
Finding balance between work and recovery can be a tricky dance, especially when emotions are involved. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', Guy Kettelhack shares his wisdom from the book *First-Year Sobriety: When All That Changes Is Everything*. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for a while, this conversation dives deep into the emotional challenges that come with having—or not having—a job.
Kettelhack emphasizes the importance of emotional growth and how even the most uncomfortable feelings can be teachers. He tackles the common all-or-nothing mindset, providing practical advice on navigating loneliness, success, and purpose without falling back into old habits. Real-life stories add a layer of relatability; Andy, a carpenter, opens up about his struggles with work-related triggers, while Marilyn shares her journey of reevaluating her career and finding a new passion.
Kettelhack encourages listeners to rethink their approach to work and redefine what success and self-worth mean to them. He argues that true worth comes from within and is not tied to job titles or income. If you're grappling with the emotional hurdles of work in your recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective on finding purpose and fulfillment in life.
