Building Bridges: The Role of Social Support in Addiction Recovery

We are able to lean on each other and help each other. In a fellowship where we find a safe place, that we can talk about the experiences that we've had, some of them very painful and difficult and have been just on our own, we can share them with others, and it kind of takes the power away from keeping those secrets.
Feeling isolated while battling addiction? Dr. Ken Buckle tackles this tough topic head-on in his podcast, 'Encounter with Dr. Ken'. This episode dives deep into how social support can be a game-changer for those on the path to recovery. Dr. Ken breaks down how addiction often leads to feelings of shame and damaged relationships, making the road to recovery even more challenging. But there's hope!
He highlights the power of finding a safe space to share experiences, where the burden of keeping secrets can finally be lifted.
