It's the first thing you hear in the rooms, 'Your best thinking got you here.' But what does it mean? Is there a place for self-empowerment and self-reliance in addiction recovery?
Ever heard the phrase 'Your best thinking got you here' in a recovery meeting and wondered what it really means? Mike and Nat tackle this head-scratcher in their latest episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages'. They dig into the slogan often heard in AA and other 12 Step programs, questioning whether it's fair or even helpful. Can you really solve a problem with the same mindset that created it?
Or is there room for self-reliance and personal empowerment in recovery? Mike and Nat don't shy away from challenging the status quo. They debate whether checking your brain at the door is necessary for lasting recovery or if it's just another cliché that needs rethinking. Along the way, they explore alternative approaches like SMART Recovery and the addiction voice recognition technique (AVRT). They also dive into the potential benefits of therapies like EMDR for PTSD.
This episode isn't just about heavy topics, though. You'll also get a dose of their 'Week in Weird' segment, where they discuss bizarre creatures like the mantis and its potential to invade your home. Plus, they share personal updates and insights on how recovery impacts their daily lives. If you're curious about different recovery philosophies or just need a fresh perspective, this episode is for you.
Mike and Nat's candid discussions offer both support and food for thought, making it a must-listen for anyone on the journey to sobriety.
