The best I can do is to maintain my sobriety. If I were to go to his funeral or if I were to go talk to him, how can I be useful if I'm going to be high when I do that? It's a really good point about how twisted our thinking can be, you know, because that's where my mind takes me when I'm in pain. But actually, I just should focus on recovery and all the good things that I've been doing.
In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Nerd', hosts Jeffrey and Troy dive into the heart of what makes in-person meetings so vital for addiction recovery. They share their personal journeys, emphasizing how face-to-face interactions have played a crucial role in their sobriety. While Zoom and other virtual platforms offer convenience, Jeffrey and Troy argue that nothing quite matches the depth of connection and support found in physical meetings.
The episode is filled with heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, making it clear why fellowship and sponsorship are cornerstones of the recovery process. They discuss the emotional highs and lows, the statistics behind in-person versus virtual meetings, and tease future episodes on sponsorship. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone navigating the challenging yet rewarding path of addiction recovery.
