Recovery is about finding out who and what we really are. Sex can be a way of feeling something, or it can be a way to not feel something. In order to successfully battle our fear of intimacy, we must first be comfortable in ourselves.
Ever wondered how sobriety impacts your love life? In this episode of 'Forest Fires', John Clark tackles the often-avoided topic of sex and intimacy in recovery. Many who have battled addiction find themselves struggling to form and maintain healthy relationships once they get sober. Clark opens up about these challenges, sharing both personal experiences and practical advice.
He emphasizes that understanding who we truly are is a cornerstone of recovery, and that our approach to sex can reflect our journey towards self-acceptance or avoidance. This episode isn't just about the mechanics of intimacy; it's about overcoming the fear of vulnerability and building connections that are both meaningful and fulfilling. By confronting negative self-perceptions and embracing the risk of emotional pain, we can pave the way for genuine, loving partnerships.
Tune in for an honest conversation that promises to shed light on a crucial aspect of life after addiction.
