We all experience pain in recovery, but what does recovery teach us about grieving?
Grieving is a universal experience, but how does it intersect with the path of recovery? In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason are joined by Caraline to explore the often-overlooked subject of grief within the context of addiction recovery. They dive into whether 12-step programs provide the necessary room for grieving or if they push individuals to skip straight to acceptance, bypassing crucial emotional stages like denial, anger, bargaining, and depression.
The conversation is both candid and reflective, as the trio shares personal stories and insights about grieving not just the loss of loved ones, but also the loss of jobs, pets, and even the addiction itself. Caraline opens up about her own journey with grief in recovery, offering listeners a deeply personal perspective. They discuss what it means to grieve while staying sober and how to support others going through similar pain.
The episode also touches on the role of spirituality in coping with grief, providing comfort and a sense of hope. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into embracing and navigating grief without judgment. It's a poignant reminder that making space for all stages of grief is essential for healing.
