Jim Corrington: Crafting Your Personal Path to Sobriety

So, whether it's through a religious organization or through a-step program, there's human beings who are effectively helping each other to get through life in a way that actually works.
What makes someone succeed in their journey to sobriety while others struggle? Jim Corrington, Executive Director of Outpatient Services at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, tackles this question head-on. With 36 years of personal sobriety and over three decades of professional experience, Corrington brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to the table. His journey began in graduate school, where he sought to understand the key differences between those who thrive in recovery and those who don't.
This episode of 'Beyond Theory' dives into his findings, focusing on the role of spirituality in recovery, and how it differs from religion. Corrington emphasizes the importance of finding a 'unique recipe' for sobriety—one that fits each individual's needs. He discusses the significance of 12-Step programs and the necessity of having guides or mentors to navigate the recovery process. Overcoming a victim mentality and taking control of one's life are also crucial themes.
Corrington's approach is about finding what works for you, whether it's through reading recovery literature or connecting with others who have successfully walked the path. His message is clear: addiction is treatable, and with the right support system and mindset, anyone can achieve sobriety. Tune in to hear more about how Corrington's personal and professional experiences can help you or a loved one on the road to recovery.
