Challenging Self-Reliance in Sobriety: A Chat with Megan and Guiding Light

I think one of the most important things I ever read was somewhere in the and about how the philosophy of self-reliance has failed us, and the concept that it was my own self-reliance that was preventing me from getting sober was a huge revelation to me, because I've been trying to get sober for a long time.
What if the idea of being completely self-reliant is actually holding you back in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Casting Light', Dan and Debbie from Guiding Light sit down with Megan to discuss how societal expectations of self-reliance can be a major roadblock for those trying to get sober. Megan shares her personal story, revealing how the pressure to handle everything alone made her early sobriety much harder.
The trio dives into the importance of asking for help and relying on a support system, rather than trying to do it all yourself. Alongside these serious discussions, you'll also hear some lighter moments, like amusing jail stories and a quirky debate about whether you'd prefer a dog or a cat with laser eyes. This episode is a blend of heartfelt advice and genuine humor, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery.
Tune in to rethink your approach to self-reliance and discover the strength in seeking support.
