A bottom is between your ears
In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, the focus is on the power and benefits of openness in the journey to recovery. The speaker, who shares his experiences from 1995, delves into the challenges he faced growing up in a household where openness was scarce. He recounts how his father's rage and the family's reluctance to discuss issues openly left him fearful and closed off.
This lack of openness followed him into adulthood, contributing to his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction. His story takes a turn when he hits rock bottom, not just in a physical sense but emotionally and mentally, leading him to realise that true recovery required him to open up and confront his fears and feelings honestly. Through group therapy and support from fellow AA members, he began to embrace openness, which played a crucial role in his healing process.
The episode highlights the significance of sharing one's struggles and being transparent, not just with others but with oneself. It’s a heartfelt reminder that openness can pave the way for recovery and personal growth. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on embracing openness in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
