I've learned to trust the process and that self-knowledge got me nowhere.
Ever felt like your mind is a hamster on a wheel, constantly spinning but getting nowhere? In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg chat with Ed H., who knows that feeling all too well. Ed describes himself as a master overthinker, someone who was 'off the charts' in analytical thinking and control. Yet, despite these tendencies, he managed to stay sober—a feat he calls nothing short of a miracle.
Ed shares how he initially joined recovery programs out of sheer defiance, driven by a desire to prove everyone wrong. But over time, he learned to trust the process and realized that self-knowledge alone wasn't enough to keep him sober. Instead, he had to embrace patience and allow himself to grow at his own pace. The conversation touches on various themes like the progression of alcoholism, the crippling effect of fear, and the importance of dealing with personal flaws.
Ed emphasizes the power of storytelling in recovery and how sharing experiences can help others feel less isolated. This episode is a blend of humor, honesty, and inspiration, offering valuable insights for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Ed's compelling story and discover why trusting the process can make all the difference.
