Maybe it's time for some of us, so-called old-timers, to close our mouths and open our minds. Recovery is not a competitive sport.
Ever felt like you're in a race to sobriety? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Robert McClellan breaks down the misconception that addiction recovery is a competitive sport. He opens up about his early days in recovery, feeling like everyone with more sober time had all the answers. But it wasn't until he realized that the quality of his sober days mattered more than the sheer number that he truly began to understand recovery.
Robert calls on seasoned members to listen more and talk less, emphasizing that there’s no finish line or trophy in this journey. He also tackles the often intimidating jargon found in recovery groups, suggesting a more inclusive approach for newcomers. Encouraging a creative twist to the recovery process, Robert invites listeners to explore new ways of healing and reminds everyone to be kind and supportive of each other.
Tune in for a fresh perspective on what it really means to recover.
