Unlocking Self-Love: Embracing Women for Sobriety's Statement 10

When we approach our lives with love for ourselves and, by extension, compassion for others, we draw that positive energy back to us.
What does it mean to truly love yourself, especially in the context of sobriety? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Getting to Recovery', M. Broughton Boone dives into Statement 10 of the Women for Sobriety New Life program: 'All love given returns. I will learn to know that others love me.' This idea can be a tough pill to swallow for many in early recovery who are grappling with self-worth and the concept of being loved by others.
Boone unpacks the layers of this affirmation, shedding light on how self-compassion and self-respect are the bedrock of a fulfilling, sober life. She discusses how cultivating an inner sense of love can transform not just your emotional state but also your physical health and overall approach to life. Through relatable anecdotes and practical advice, Boone makes a compelling case for why loving oneself is crucial for drawing positive energy and genuine connections with others.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their journey of self-discovery and sobriety, offering a roadmap to embracing your inner goodness and allowing love to flow both ways.
