I feel like I need to get back to practicing that, because I've realized that with wise friendships, that's just as much of my spiritual practice as meditating or meeting.
Making friends as an adult can be tough, but doing it while navigating recovery? That's a whole different ball game. In this episode of 'Sober Company', hosts Lacey and Jen take you on a journey through the ups and downs of forming genuine friendships while staying sober. They share their own stories, offering practical tips and heartfelt advice on how to connect with others, even during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lacey and Jen talk about the unique satisfaction that comes from friendships built in recovery. These relationships aren't just about having a good time; they're part of your spiritual journey. The hosts emphasize the importance of being there for each other during tough times while also safeguarding your own recovery. They discuss the delicate balance of getting close to people who are also in recovery while being mindful of potential risks.
One key takeaway from this episode is the concept of 'wise friendships'. Lacey explains that these friendships are as vital to her spiritual practice as meditation or attending meetings. Wise friendships help you grow and thrive, rather than dragging you down. Making these kinds of connections involves being intentional about who you spend your time with and seeking out people who share your values and goals. The hosts also dive into practical steps for making friends in recovery.
Whether you're attending meetings in person or virtually, showing up consistently and being open to new connections is crucial. They encourage listeners to be patient, as forming deep bonds can take time, especially in the context of recovery. If you're looking to expand your sober social circle or deepen your existing relationships, this episode is a must-listen.
It offers a blend of practical advice, personal reflections, and spiritual insights that will support you on your path to a fulfilling and meaningful sober life.
