Did alcoholism erase you? How did you find yourself in recovery? Who are you? What do you want? Do you know now?
Ever felt like you've lost yourself while supporting a loved one through addiction? Episode 163 of The Recovery Show tackles this very issue. The hosts, who are family members and friends of alcoholics, share their personal journeys of losing themselves in the chaos of codependency and the path they took to find their true selves again. They kick off with some thought-provoking questions: 'Did alcoholism erase you? How did you find yourself in recovery? Who are you?
What do you want?' These questions set the stage for a heartfelt discussion on reclaiming one's identity amidst the turmoil of addiction. Throughout the episode, the hosts open up about how focusing solely on the alcoholic often led them to neglect their own needs and desires. They dive into the isolation and withdrawal that many experience when living with an addict and share how they overcame these challenges. One key theme is the importance of feedback in recovery.
The hosts discuss how learning to give and receive feedback within their recovery community helped them grow and reconnect with themselves. Listeners will also hear about the joy of rediscovering life's simple pleasures and letting go of the expectation that others should make them happy. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like facing fears and loss in recovery. Instead, it offers a hopeful perspective on embracing new interests and perspectives, even when they seem daunting.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is more than just overcoming addiction; it's about finding yourself again. With stories and insights that offer both hope and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling to reclaim their identity in the wake of addiction.
