Step 3: Embracing Change in Dual Recovery

Step frees us from our limitations. We don't have to work so hard at getting better anymore. We can let go and let our higher power smooth the way.
In this episode of the 'Dual Recovery Anonymous Podcast', Gordon dives into the crucial Step 3 of managing dual disorders. This step is all about making a conscious decision to turn our will and lives over to a higher power, which can be spiritual, physical, or even medical. Gordon reads from the Dual Disorders book by Tim Hamilton and Pat Samples, highlighting how Step 3 is a game-changer in the recovery journey.
It's not just about treating addiction or mental illness but learning to manage both by embracing new ways of thinking and acting. He uses relatable metaphors like stepping into a new car to explain how this shift in mindset can help us navigate our recovery more effectively. Gordon also discusses the importance of seeking guidance and trusting the process, even when it's challenging.
He emphasizes that while we can't control our dual disorders, we can choose how to manage them, offering listeners a sense of hope and direction. This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with addiction and mental health issues, providing practical advice and emotional support.
