My recovery is more about connection than criticism or change. When we encourage someone to change, we are telling them that they're not good enough as they are.
Imagine being told that the very idea of 'change' in recovery is a myth. In episode 68 of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Robert McClellan challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction recovery. Instead of focusing on change, McClellan emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and acceptance. He shares a personal revelation that recovery is less about altering who we are and more about understanding and embracing our true selves.
Reflecting on his late father's wisdom, McClellan admits, 'I may be wrong', and explains how this realization has reshaped his approach to recovery. He argues that pushing someone to change can imply they aren't good enough as they are, which can be counterproductive. Through heartfelt anecdotes and candid reflections, McClellan advocates for a recovery journey rooted in connection and love rather than criticism and transformation.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the recovery community looking to find peace and acceptance within themselves.
