Humility becomes possible when we not only recognize our challenges but discuss them with another person.
Step Five in addiction recovery isn't just about admitting wrongs—it's a transformative journey towards humility and hope. In this episode of 'Recovery Road,' bestselling author Marya Hornbacher shares her personal recovery story and offers a unique perspective on the challenges of Step Five, especially for those with co-occurring disorders. Drawing from her book 'Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction, and the 12 Steps,' Hornbacher delves into the crucial difference between humility and humiliation.
For individuals battling mental health issues, this step can be particularly daunting due to the stigma attached to mental illness. Hornbacher's insights shine a light on how practicing honesty and humility can lead to profound growth and a healthier, sober life. She also stresses the importance of choosing the right person to confide in—someone who understands mental health struggles and can offer empathetic guidance. Whether it's a sponsor, therapist, or spiritual advisor, having a supportive listener is key.
This episode offers hope and practical advice for anyone facing the unique hurdles of Step Five, making it an essential listen for those on the path to recovery.
