Those who work the program will gain a sense of acceptance that allows them to process their experiences, learn from them and move on without guilt.
What if pain could be your greatest teacher? In this episode of Recovery Happy Hour, host Tricia Lewis sits down with M.J. Gottlieb to explore how confronting pain head-on can be a powerful catalyst for recovery. M.J. opens up about his own battles with addiction, sharing candidly about the guilt and shame that once held him back. But rather than letting these feelings consume him, he learned to see them as lessons for growth and self-improvement.
One of the key themes in their conversation is acceptance—accepting past mistakes and using them as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. M.J. talks about the importance of following a structured program but also emphasizes that anyone can learn to move on from their past, regardless of their background. Fear and isolation are common companions in the journey through addiction, and M.J. discusses how reaching out for help made all the difference in his recovery.
He and Tricia also touch on finding joy and connection in a sober life, including the challenges and rewards of sober dating and social events. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone who wants to understand the transformative power of facing pain and learning from it. With a blend of heartfelt storytelling and practical advice, Tricia and M.J. offer a message of hope and resilience that's sure to resonate.
