When we idolize another or quest to become idols ourselves, we're putting our faith in someone who's powerless over this disease, and that, my friends, is perhaps the greatest danger of all.
Ever feel like some people in recovery seem to have it all figured out? In this episode of 'The Way Out', hosts Charlie and Jason tackle the tricky topic of idolizing others in recovery. It's easy to see someone thriving and think they've got all the answers, but putting them on a pedestal can actually be harmful.
The duo dives into why it's natural to look up to those who appear to be living their best sober lives, yet warns against turning them into recovery rock stars. They discuss how this idolization can lead to disappointment, isolation, and even relapse if we're not careful. You'll hear about practical strategies to avoid these pitfalls, such as embracing humility, finding a supportive community, and focusing on your own journey.
They also touch on how social media can amplify these tendencies and the importance of a higher power in maintaining balance. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery looking to stay grounded and true to their path.
