"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it".
In the latest instalment of Real Recovery Talk, Tom Conrad, alongside his mates Ben and Eric, dives headfirst into the quirky world of sobriety slogans. Ever heard phrases like 'One Day at a Time' or 'Let Go and Let God' and wondered what they really mean? Well, you're not alone! This episode breaks down these catchy one-liners that often echo through the halls of 12-step meetings.
Some of these slogans pack a punch, while others might just be words we parrot without much thought. Tom, a recovering alcoholic himself, shares his candid views on these sayings. He reflects on how some have genuinely helped him on his journey to sobriety, while others seem more like background noise. Ben and Eric chime in with their own experiences, offering a mix of humour and heartfelt insights.
They ponder whether these phrases are just clichés or if they hold deeper meanings that can aid in recovery. The conversation is light-hearted yet meaningful, as the trio discusses the impact of these slogans on newcomers to recovery. They explore how such sayings can sometimes become a crutch rather than a guide. The episode also touches on the importance of personal growth beyond just repeating phrases and encourages a deeper understanding of one's journey.
If you're curious about the slogans that shape the recovery community or just want to hear some honest banter about sobriety, this episode is for you. It's a reminder that while catchy phrases can be helpful, true recovery comes from within and from genuine connections with others.
