Brandi's Journey: Embracing Humility and Healing in Recovery
We sit there and we think back of every single thing we did, we analyze it and then we do...if we're in a program, we write out a four-step and if you're like me, I have this huge list of everything that I did wrong and all this guilt and shame, and then it starts resurfacing, because you're sitting there digging it up, and as I'm digging it up, I'm feeling the pain and I'm feeling the remorse and the guilt, so much shame, and I don't know how to deal with it.
Imagine reflecting on your past and realizing how far you've come. In episode 22 of the 'Sober as $#@! Podcast', Brandi opens up about her path to recovery, focusing on the importance of humility. She shares a touching moment listening to her son's perspective, which offers a fresh lens on her journey. Brandi doesn't shy away from discussing the weight of guilt and shame that often accompanies recovery.
Instead, she emphasizes the need to make amends and strive for self-improvement each day. Living in humility, she explains, isn't about belittling oneself but about nurturing self-care and empathy for others. Brandi also candidly talks about her battles with anxiety and depression, highlighting how acceptance and storytelling have been vital to her healing process. Her vulnerability aims to inspire others to seek support and connect with the recovery community.
