I got to look at my belief system...I deserve to be punished. Yeah, and so then, and then the response was so good that they asked me to keep coming back week after Week to you know, facilitate this group and fine tune it for their, for their, their patients.
Ever thought about how deeply ingrained beliefs shape our addiction recovery journey? This episode of Recovery Soapbox brings together Kamrin Carver from Brighton Recovery Center and Patrick Rezac of One Voice Recovery to tackle some of the most challenging and often avoided topics in addiction recovery. Patrick, a recovery coach, shares his unique perspective on Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), a method that helped him reframe self-defeating core beliefs like 'I deserve to be punished'.
His positive experience with MRT led him to become a facilitator, guiding others through this transformative process. Kamrin and Patrick also emphasize the crucial role of therapy and community support in the recovery journey. They dive into the stigma surrounding addiction labels and stress the importance of challenging societal norms. Their discussion extends to recognizing addictive behaviors beyond substance abuse, making it clear that recovery is about more than just quitting drugs or alcohol.
Navigating sexual relationships during recovery is another key topic they explore, advocating for open and honest conversations to break down barriers and foster understanding. Patrick also opens up about his experience living with HIV, highlighting the significance of prevention and care programs in the recovery community. The episode doesn’t shy away from addressing the resistance often faced by alternative recovery methods.
Kamrin and Patrick advocate for keeping an open mind and being receptive to new approaches, which can offer hope and fresh perspectives for those on their recovery journey. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in exploring different paths to sobriety and breaking down the taboos that often hinder progress.
