If you spend as much time and effort on your recovery as you did on your addiction, where would you be right now?
What does it take to achieve long-term sobriety? This episode of 'The 12th Step Podcast' dives into that very question. Hosts Gary, Mike, and Daniel sit down with therapist Shane Harmon to dissect the elements that contribute to sustained recovery from sexual addiction. Drawing from the book 'Facing the Shadows' by Patrick Carnes, Harmon shares insights based on profiles of thousands of individuals who have navigated the path to sobriety.
The discussion goes beyond mere abstinence, highlighting the importance of both internal and external factors. They explore how having a primary therapist and participating in group therapy can be game-changers in the recovery journey. Harmon emphasizes the role of creating a safe environment where fear and shame can be addressed, allowing individuals to start the healing process. One of the standout points is how our lifestyle choices can either support or hinder meaningful recovery.
The hosts and Harmon delve into how making lifestyle adjustments is crucial for sustaining sobriety. They also touch on the value of social experiences and the role of sensitivity in addiction treatment. Personal stories from the hosts add depth to the conversation, illustrating the benefits of engaging in therapy and support programs. They also discuss alternative methods for participating in these programs, including online options, stressing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.
If you're looking for practical advice and heartfelt guidance on achieving long-term sobriety, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and support. Tune in to hear how personalized approaches and active engagement can pave the way for lasting change.
