My first feeling was sadness because this meant he had relapsed, and I mean I'm sad whenever there's a relapse. I want to be in and around recovery and then also back in The Winter, I got a sister-in-law who's an lpc and she told me something about this thing called peer support, and it's like a growing trend.
Why do people relapse, especially after experiencing the peace and joy of recovery? Shaun N. offers his personal answer in this eye-opening episode of 'Stories of Recovery'. Growing up in a household marred by violence, Shaun found solace in alcohol, which provided temporary relief but led to worsening consequences. His story takes us through his initial success in recovery, where he felt genuinely happy and free for the first time in his life.
However, drifting away from the 12 Step program led him to relapse, a harsh reminder of the importance of staying connected to recovery communities. Shaun’s account is raw and honest, shedding light on the dangers of complacency and the critical role of peer support. This episode underscores the enduring benefits of the 12 Step Recovery program and serves as a powerful reminder to anyone on their sobriety journey.
If you’re looking for an authentic, heartfelt story that highlights both the struggles and triumphs of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
