What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? This episode of RAW Recovery Podcast tackles the often misunderstood differences between resentment and trauma. Host Dion shares his personal experiences, grappling with childhood trauma and how it shaped his path to recovery. Through candid storytelling, Dion explains how trauma is a deep emotional injury affecting beliefs and reactions, while resentment stems from anger and unmet expectations. Mislabeling trauma as resentment can hinder recovery, as trauma requires healing rather than inventory.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences, seeking clarity and understanding in their journey.
