"Support systems are like the roots of a tree that allow it to grow strong and all the way up to the sky."
In this episode of On the Brink: The No Grey Area Podcast, Yosiya and Pamela Reynell dive into the importance of maintaining a robust support system during recovery. Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of mental health or battling addiction, a solid network can be your lifeline. Yosiya shares his own experiences, having been in recovery for a year after decades of struggling with alcohol. He emphasises that support systems don't always have to be formalised or family-based.
Sometimes, they come from unexpected places – a social media post, a phone call, or even an inspiring story from someone who's walked a similar path. Pamela adds her expertise as a transformational life coach, likening support networks to the roots of a tree, essential for growth and stability. The episode offers practical tips for building these networks, such as avoiding 'marriages of convenience' where support may be more harmful than helpful.
Instead, Yosiya suggests filling your days with constructive routines and hobbies that keep you grounded and focused on recovery. He also touches on spirituality as a crucial element in his support system, advocating for the serenity prayer as a tool for inner strength. Pamela's insights highlight the value of honesty and vulnerability within your chosen circle, whether it's family or friends. The discussion is both candid and encouraging, providing listeners with tangible advice on fostering supportive relationships.
It's a reminder that recovery is not a solo journey – having the right people around you can make all the difference. Why should you tune in? Because understanding how to cultivate and maintain your support system could be the key to staying on track in recovery. Plus, you'll get some laughs and heartfelt moments along the way.
