So much depends on our own attitudes, and we believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery.
Ever wondered why some people seem to handle life's curveballs with grace while others struggle? In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', Spencer and Maria tackle the age-old adage, 'Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional'. They dive into what this really means and how you can apply it to your own life. Sharing personal stories and practical tips, they break down the difference between pain—those unavoidable tough moments—and suffering, which is often a result of our reactions to pain.
The hosts emphasize that while you can't always control what happens to you, you can control how you respond. They share how the Al-Anon program has given them tools to shift their mindset, helping them find serenity even in the midst of chaos. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned member, this episode offers valuable insights into transforming your approach to life's challenges.
Tune in to discover how changing yourself, rather than trying to change the world around you, can lead to lasting peace.
