The truth is, there's no shame in coming back. No one will talk down to you for your slip. The only person to talk down to me was myself, and, as usual, I was my own worst enemy.
In this episode of Recovery Edge, host Alfredo takes a moment to step away from the usual guest interviews to share a deeply personal reflection. With raw honesty, Alfredo opens up about the recent passing of a friend from his recovery community and the tragic loss of rapper DMX. These events have stirred profound thoughts on addiction, recovery, and the power of self-compassion.
Alfredo candidly discusses the struggles and setbacks that often accompany the journey to sobriety, emphasizing that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. He shares how the only person who ever truly criticized him was himself, and how self-forgiveness has been a crucial part of his recovery. The episode also touches on the grace of God in the process of overcoming addiction and acknowledges the harsh reality of losing loved ones to this battle.
While this episode deviates from the usual format, it serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community, support, and perseverance in the face of addiction and loss. Alfredo's heartfelt musings offer comfort and encouragement to anyone navigating their own path to recovery.
