It's not going to be one way, and I think that's why it's important that we break the taboos and that we learn how to group to get like almost subgroups within the group of-step recovery- so that we can experience the different ways that people recover from this.
What happens when two passionate individuals come together to tackle the complex link between childhood trauma and addiction? In this episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts', Vince and Jeanna share the heartfelt inspiration behind their collaborative project, which aims to support 12-Step sponsors working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Vince recounts two poignant stories of AA members who struggled to share their experiences due to the heavy burden of their past abuse.
These narratives sparked the creation of a book designed to help sponsors navigate these sensitive situations with empathy and understanding. The episode dives into the intricate web of shame, relapse cycles, and the unique challenges faced by those recovering from both addiction and childhood abuse. Vince and Jeanna emphasize the importance of breaking the taboo surrounding these topics, shedding light on diverse recovery approaches, and addressing critical issues like abandonment.
With a compassionate tone, they guide listeners through what sponsors need to know about supporting abuse survivors in their recovery journey. This episode is not just about understanding trauma; it's about fostering a community where healing and hope are possible.
