When you relapse, you're going to feel badly ... you are love at your core. You are light at your core. You are whole at your core.
Relapse can be a daunting word for anyone on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'In The Circle', Tommy Rosen sits down with Dorcus to tackle the challenging topic of how to navigate relapse without the heavy burden of fear or shame. Relapse is often seen as a setback, but Tommy and Dorcus explore how it can also be a stepping stone towards deeper understanding and healing.
They dive into the traditional 12-step method, discussing its strengths and potential pitfalls, especially when it comes to the feelings of guilt that can accompany starting over from day one. Tommy and Dorcus shed light on crucial questions like 'Am I broken if I relapse?' and underscore the importance of having a strong community and support system. They stress that recovery is not a linear journey but an evolutionary path, where every stumble can lead to greater awareness and growth.
This episode is packed with practical advice, including specific protocols to follow after a relapse and how practices like yoga and breathwork can aid in the recovery process. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for years, this conversation offers valuable insights and encouragement. It's a reminder that relapse doesn't define you, but how you rise from it can shape your path forward.
Tune in to hear how you can transform fear and shame into resilience and self-discovery.
