A strong circle is a strong recovery, because a strong circle is going to look at you and call you out even when you don't even see you're slipping away.
Imagine trying to recover from addiction all by yourself. It's a lonely road, right? Shan, known as The Recovery Pastor, knows this all too well and dedicates this episode to the power of community in recovery. He emphasizes that isolation can be a major hurdle in overcoming addiction, and building a strong support network is crucial. Shan dives into what makes a healthy recovery circle, suggesting it should include trusted family members, friends, health professionals, and support groups.
He also highlights the value of attending different groups to gain varied perspectives and strategies for staying on track. Shan doesn’t just talk about the importance of support; he provides practical questions to help you assess your own recovery circle. Are you regularly attending meetings? Do you communicate with your sponsor? Are you actively working through your steps? By taking these proactive measures, you can avoid the pitfalls of isolation and relapse triggers.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to strengthen their recovery journey with the support of a robust community.
