Rediscovering Yourself: Identity in Recovery with Spirit of Recovery
When we first get clean and sober, we may be overwhelmed by a sense of lost identity. Who am I if I don't drink, use, or fix others? The recovery journey offers an opportunity to heal this dismay and grow into an entirely new sense of ourselves.
Feeling lost without your old habits? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas dive deep into the complex issue of identity in the recovery journey. When addiction fades, it often leaves a void where our sense of self used to be. Who are we without our crutches? Rev. Dan and Rev.
Michelle share their own stories of feeling unmoored and offer practical advice for rebuilding a new, authentic identity rooted in spirituality. They emphasize recognizing one's inherent worth and discuss how embracing both our spiritual and human sides can lead to a richer, more meaningful life. The episode also touches on the teachings of Jesus and the power of words in shaping who we are.
It's a heartfelt and enlightening conversation that offers hope and guidance for anyone feeling adrift in their recovery process.
