Should You Tell Co-Workers About Your Sobriety? Insights from The Recovered Life Show

I always found the golden rule in telling other people that you are in recovery is that people are thinking about themselves. They're not thinking about you, right.
Deciding whether to share your sobriety journey with co-workers can be a tough call. In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, hosts Damon Frank and George Snyder dive into this sensitive topic with their extensive experience in recovery. They address the lingering stigma around sobriety in the workplace and how attitudes are gradually shifting towards more acceptance and understanding. Damon and George discuss the importance of context when deciding to disclose your sobriety.
They offer practical advice on how to approach this delicate subject, emphasizing the need to carefully choose whom you share your story with. One key point they make is that people are often more focused on themselves than on you, so it's crucial to be aware of the potential risks and benefits before opening up. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone in recovery who is considering whether to disclose their sobriety at work.
Damon and George provide thoughtful perspectives on the potential outcomes of sharing your journey, making this episode a must-listen for those navigating the complexities of sobriety in a professional setting.
