Strength in Numbers: Lauren Lansrud on Recovery Support Networks

Together, we can do what we could never do alone.
Feeling alone in your recovery journey? Lauren Lansrud's episode of 'Promise of Recovery' might just be the boost you need. In this heartfelt discussion, Lauren opens up about the incredible power of support networks in overcoming addiction. She shares personal stories of how meeting with her Overeaters Anonymous (OA) friends before meetings helped lift her spirits and reinforced her belief that recovery is possible. Skeptical about support networks? Lauren gets it.
She acknowledges the doubts but assures listeners that having a group of people who truly understand your struggles can make all the difference. One of the standout points she makes is the importance of attending OA meetings. These gatherings offer a safe space for sharing struggles and receiving support from others who have walked a similar path.
Lauren encourages everyone to keep showing up, even if they haven't formed connections yet, because the promises of recovery are real for those willing to put in the work. Another key theme is humility. Lauren admits there are times when she struggles to call upon her higher power, but her OA family is always there to lift her up. By embracing her powerlessness and accepting help, she has managed to stay abstinent and honest.
The episode radiates hope and encouragement, reminding listeners that they are not alone. Together, we can achieve what seems impossible alone. So, if you're looking for strength and guidance, tune into this episode and remember, 'See you at the next meeting.'
