Drew P – What defects of character did we hesitate to give up?

Drew P takes centre stage in this episode of SoberQ, tackling the intriguing question of what defects of character we might hesitate to relinquish during recovery. Drew candidly shares his initial reluctance to let go of his character flaws, which he saw as survival skills. These flaws, ranging from the infamous Seven Deadly Sins to sex addiction, were like old friends that provided a sense of security in a chaotic world.

But as Drew immersed himself in the principles of recovery, he found solace in the fellowship and the structured steps of the programme. This newfound confidence led him to gradually release these old habits, replacing them with healthier ones. Drew highlights the importance of steps six and seven in the recovery process, describing them as an ongoing journey rather than a destination.

It's a bit like peeling an onion – just when you think you've reached the core, another layer presents itself. His advice for those new to recovery is simple yet profound: embrace where you are now and trust that you'll find your way through. With a mix of humour and honesty, Drew's reflections offer hope and encouragement for anyone grappling with their own character defects.

His story underscores the idea that recovery isn't about perfection; it's about progress and finding peace in the process. If you're curious about how to navigate these challenges and want to hear more about Drew's journey, this episode might just be the perfect listen.
