In the RAW Recovery Podcast episode titled 'It Starts With The Man In Mirror', Dion Miller dives into the heart of self-reflection and personal accountability. Drawing inspiration from Michael Jackson's iconic song, Dion emphasises that real change begins with the individual staring back at you in the mirror. It's a bit like trying to dance without knowing the steps – you've got to start with yourself before you can hit the dance floor of life.
With over 20 years of experience in recovery work, Dion shares his journey through addiction, sobriety, and the challenges faced along the way. His candid storytelling, peppered with humour and raw honesty, invites you to reflect on your own journey. Ever wondered why looking yourself in the eye can feel like a showdown? Dion tackles this head-on, discussing how our eyes are indeed windows to the soul and why it’s crucial to confront our own truths.
This episode isn't just about Dion's experiences; it's a call for everyone to take responsibility for their own actions. Dion argues that if you want others around you to change, you've got to be the first one to do it. It’s like trying to convince your cat to switch brands of cat food – you’ve got to show them it’s better first!
Dion also touches on societal issues like homelessness and how we often turn a blind eye, urging us all to extend empathy even when it’s difficult. It's a powerful reminder that change starts with each of us taking a hard look in the mirror. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers a mix of wisdom and humour that makes tackling tough topics a bit more palatable.
So why not take a moment to listen? You might just find the motivation you need to make that change.
