We Alcoholics have a tremendous amount of strength... Most of them need to be thrown in the trash as we learn new ways of living and find resources and tap inner strengths we never knew we had.
Ever wondered how much strength it takes to battle alcoholism? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', hosts John and Jerry tackle the letter W with 'W.A.P. (We Alcoholics Persevere)'. They dive deep into the resilience required to overcome the self-inflicted hardships and heartaches that come with addiction. From hangovers to emotional turmoil, alcoholics face a unique set of challenges. But here's the twist: some of the skills developed during drinking days can actually be useful in sobriety.
Of course, many habits need to be discarded, but the journey to finding new ways of living is filled with unexpected resources and untapped inner strengths. John and Jerry also discuss the importance of tools and principles that aid in daily life, emphasizing that while shame and guilt can sometimes motivate, they often do more harm than good. Instead, they advocate for focusing on positive motivators and the community support that can make all the difference.
The episode wraps up with a hopeful message about embracing the uncertainty of the future and continuously tapping into one's inner strengths to persevere. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
