Accepting responsibility is ultimately the single most important step in achieving sobriety. Others cannot make us sober. We are the only ones who can take ourselves into recovery.
Imagine recognizing that your problem is life-threatening and deciding to take control. In this episode of 'Getting to Recovery', M. Broughton Boone dives into the first affirmation statement from Women for Sobriety: 'I have a life-threatening problem that once had me'. Boone explores how taking responsibility is crucial for sobriety, emphasizing the power of self-talk and internalizing the gravity of addiction.
She discusses the cognitive dissonance that arises when we confront our addiction and how this awareness is the foundation for change. Boone also shares insights on moving from preparation to action, acknowledging that the journey to sobriety often involves multiple attempts. With a focus on learning from experiences and leveraging available support, Boone provides a roadmap for those seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction.
This episode is a blend of practical advice, emotional support, and encouragement, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
