The goal is not to stop having sex or stop being sexual. That would probably be the best way I could articulate it.
Picture this: you're on the road to recovery, but then a relapse hits. It's a scenario many face, and it can feel like the end of the world. In this episode of the 'Landmark Recovery Podcast', Zach Crouch sits down with Mike Eiden, a seasoned social worker and addiction counselor, to tackle the often misunderstood terrain of relapse and recovery.
They dive deep into the difference between an addiction lapse and a relapse, shedding light on why understanding this distinction is crucial for anyone on their recovery journey. Mike opens up about the hidden role of secrets and shame in relapse, explaining how they can create a separate, isolating world that hinders true recovery. You'll hear about the importance of adequate care and support, something that's often overlooked but vital for staying on track.
The conversation also touches on the delicate subject of sex addiction recovery. Mike emphasizes that the goal isn't to eliminate sexuality but to foster a healthy relationship with it. Language plays a pivotal role in recovery, and Zach and Mike discuss how the words we use can shape our mindset and influence our path to sobriety. Navigating recovery can be even more challenging with unsupportive or judgmental loved ones.
The episode offers practical advice and resources for partners and spouses, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with these complex issues. Whether you've experienced a relapse or are supporting someone who has, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable advice to help you move forward.
