People that didn't even know me taught me how to love myself before I could, you know, even know how, and that's a process of commitment to being in it and asking for help was a huge issue for me.
Ever wondered what the first steps towards recovery look like? In this episode of 'Sober in the City', host Debbie Strand, along with her guests, dives into the essential first three steps of the recovery journey. These steps lay the groundwork for a life free from addiction, offering both hope and practical advice.
One guest shares a powerful moment, saying, 'People that didn't even know me taught me how to love myself before I could, you know, even know how, and that's a process of commitment to being in it and asking for help was a huge issue for me'. This highlights the crucial role of community and support in overcoming addiction.
The discussion also touches on the belief in a higher power and how it can be a cornerstone for many in their recovery process. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the gift of desperation—when one hits rock bottom—and the shame that often accompanies relapses. But it's not all heavy; there's an emphasis on the transformative power of sharing one's experiences and leaning on others for strength.
To round things off, the episode explores how comprehensive treatment can nourish the mind, body, and spirit. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or those who want to understand the recovery process better.
