The Role of Self-Awareness in Overcoming Addiction

We're really talking about like: do I have the ability to be honest with myself?
Have you ever stopped to think about how well you really know yourself? In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the concept of self-awareness and its crucial role in addiction recovery. Drawing from their 20+ years of experience, they break down what self-awareness truly means and how it can be a game-changer for anyone battling unwanted behaviors.
The episode kicks off with a clear definition of self-awareness and quickly moves into its relationship with pride. Wes and Austin warn against the dangers of becoming too self-absorbed, offering practical advice on how to strike a balance. They also dive into the theological and biblical aspects, referencing passages from Jeremiah, Psalm, and First Timothy to underscore the importance of honest self-reflection. Throughout the episode, you'll find actionable tips on cultivating a healthy sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance.
This isn't just about looking inward; it's about using that insight to build healthier relationships and find real hope and healing. Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery journey or have been on the path for a while, this episode offers valuable perspectives that can help you navigate the complexities of addiction recovery.
