What does it mean to truly recover from addiction? In this episode of 'Sharing Recovery', hosts Jack Kropp welcomes Jeff and Karen, who open up about their profound journey through addiction and the road to recovery. They candidly discuss the chaos that addiction brought into their lives and the pivotal moments that led them to seek help.
Jeff recounts how he had to confront his past and embrace the steps necessary for a clearer future, while Karen reflects on the difference between being self-centered and genuinely selfless. Together, they explore the core emotions of fear and love, revealing how fear fueled their problems and how love became their guiding light. Jeff shares the sobering reality that his life initially worsened after he stopped drinking, emphasizing the need for relentless commitment to get better.
Karen offers a unique perspective on love, describing it as a one-way street where giving unselfishly is key. They both stress that modern recovery often misses out on the deeper benefits of true healing, which goes beyond mere abstinence.
