In this enlightening episode of the podcast series hosted by Father Bill W., we delve into the unique challenges women face in their journey of long-term recovery. Father Bill, an Episcopal priest with decades of experience in recovery, invites Diane Cameron, a well-respected author and recovery coach, to explore these topics. Diane, known for her book 'Out of the Woods: A Woman's Guide to Long-Term Recovery,' shares insights drawn from her personal and professional experiences.
The discussion begins with the significance of 12-step meetings, particularly the well-advised practice of attending '90 meetings in 90 days.' Diane reflects on the sense of safety and community that these meetings offer, emphasizing the healing power of shared laughter and support. Her personal journey underscores the value of consistent meeting attendance, a practice that she continued beyond the initial 90 days, guided by her sponsor. Moving beyond meetings, the conversation shifts to relationships and self-awareness.
Diane brings to light the complexities of maintaining relationships while in recovery. She discusses the importance of recognizing and addressing emotional triggers and the need for clear communication within partnerships. Her advice is grounded in the idea that self-examination is crucial for personal growth and relationship health. The episode also touches on balancing work and personal life, particularly as women advance into roles that require supervising others.
Diane offers practical guidance on maintaining integrity and authenticity in professional settings while navigating recovery. Throughout the discussion, the emphasis on building a supportive recovery team is clear. Diane advocates for surrounding oneself with individuals who can offer encouragement and accountability, a theme that resonates deeply with listeners. With a blend of humor and wisdom, Diane Cameron provides valuable insights, making this episode a compelling resource for anyone interested in the nuanced journey of recovery.
As Father Bill aptly reminds us, recovery is a lifelong journey requiring dedication and continual self-improvement.
