A relationship is forever. A relationship is maintenance. A relationship is working on ourselves and helping others and letting them help us. That is a relationship.
Picture this: you're trying to navigate the choppy waters of recovery, but instead of feeling liberated, you find yourself stuck in a monotonous cycle of ticking boxes. That's the 'prison mentality' Shane Meyer tackles in this episode of 'Addiction Files'. He argues that true recovery isn't just about following a set routine; it's about forging meaningful relationships and embracing the journey itself.
Shane delves into how addiction impacts our ambitions and perspectives, often trapping us in a cycle of denial and lack of objectivity. But there's hope. By building strong connections with peers, sponsors, and even a higher power, you can find the encouragement and love needed to move forward. The episode also touches on cybernetics as a tool for setting goals and making continuous progress.
Shane emphasizes that recovery is a blend of physical, psychological, and spiritual growth, and it's these relationships that help maintain that balance. Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into breaking free from a prison mentality and fostering lasting change.
