Ever thought about the impact role models have on your recovery journey? In this episode of 'ROACHE on RECOVERY', hosts Orville Roach and his co-host dig deep into why having positive role models is vital in substance abuse treatment and recovery. They kick things off by discussing how choosing role models is a personal decision that says a lot about who you are and what you value.
Unlike peers, who might just happen to be around, role models are people you actively look up to. But it's not all sunshine and roses; the hosts also caution against putting these figures on pedestals. After all, everyone has flaws, and it can be tough when someone you admire stumbles. They share stories about how even the best role models can sometimes fall short and how that can be a challenging experience, especially for those in early recovery.
The episode also touches on how to find role models in unexpected places and the importance of keeping busy to avoid falling into old habits. Idle time can be a real enemy in recovery, leading to urges that are hard to resist. Wrapping up, the hosts emphasize the importance of seeking proper treatment and making well-informed decisions. Role models can inspire you and spread positivity like wildfire.
Tune in to get a fresh perspective on the essential role of role models in your recovery journey.
