Show Notes:

Humility is a cornerstone of recovery from addiction. It is a profound shift from the self-centeredness and ego-driven behaviors that often accompany substance abuse. Embracing humility allows individuals to acknowledge their limitations, surrender to a higher power, and seek help from others. This open-mindedness and willingness to learn are crucial for personal growth and lasting sobriety.

Tonight, we talk about Humility.

Show Notes:

In the journey of recovery, we often focus on the importance of self-care and healing. But just as vital is the practice of kindness – both towards ourselves and those around us. Being kind to ourselves means acknowledging our struggles, celebrating our progress, and embracing self-compassion. It's about silencing that inner critic and replacing it with words of encouragement and understanding. Remember, recovery is a process, and setbacks are a natural part of the journey. By extending kindness to ourselves, we create a safe and nurturing space for growth and transformation.

Tonight, we talk about Kindness.

In the journey of recovery, finding healthy ways to process emotions and experiences is crucial. One such practice that has proven to be incredibly beneficial is Journaling (recovery writing) or keeping a diary. This simple act of putting pen to paper can offer a safe space for self-reflection, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Tonight, we talk about Journaling (recovery writing).
