Authentic recovery does not restore people to what they were previously. It transforms people into who they really are.
In this compelling episode of 'Alternative To Rehab', host Dave Cooper takes listeners on a journey through the complex landscape of reverse addiction and family dysfunction. As part of a six-part series, this fifth installment sheds light on the nuanced concept of 'flipping' and the delicate balance required to achieve authentic recovery. Cooper dives into two distinct forms of flipping that can occur during addiction recovery, offering practical insights into how these shifts impact individuals and their families.
One form is subtle, occurring even in the throes of addiction, while the other is more pronounced and typically emerges during early recovery. Ever heard of becoming 'too well' for your family? Cooper addresses this intriguing phenomenon, explaining how true recovery can sometimes disrupt long-standing family dynamics. He shares anecdotes and examples that illustrate how families might resist change by encouraging old habits or discouraging therapy.
But Cooper emphasizes that genuine recovery transforms individuals into their true selves, a shift that can be both empowering and challenging for family relationships. By distinguishing between medical recovery and authentic recovery, Cooper highlights the deeper, more personal transformation that comes with understanding and addressing the root causes of addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one through their recovery journey.
It offers valuable perspectives on managing family dynamics and embracing the transformative power of authentic recovery.
