Embracing Secular Recovery: A Chat with Joe C.
“Emotional sobriety is a way that we can sort of take what we learn in the world to you know, manage our own lives, and maybe a model that this kind of inclusive behavior, the yes and idea- look, I'm not fighting the darkness, I'm just shining the light.”
Imagine a recovery journey that embraces everyone, regardless of their beliefs. That's exactly what Joe C., author and podcast host of Rebellion Dogs Publishing, brings to the table in this episode. He joins hosts Allen Berger and Thom Rutledge to discuss a refreshing 'yes, and' approach to recovery, moving away from the restrictive 'no, but' mindset. Joe shares his insights on how emotional sobriety can be achieved through self-acceptance and community support, making recovery a more inclusive experience for all.
They touch on the importance of not judging others and how building self-esteem plays a crucial role in this process. If you're curious about how academic ideas can be integrated into recovery or looking for a more inclusive path to sobriety, this conversation is for you. Tune in for an engaging and enlightening discussion that could change the way you think about recovery.
