"A life well lived is one where we're contributing to society and those relationships around us"
In this episode of the Relational Recovery Podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the often overlooked social impact of addiction. They explore how addiction isn't just a personal battle but a challenge that reverberates through families, friendships, and communities. You'll find that recovery is more than just quitting a habit; it's about rebuilding relationships and creating a supportive network.
Wes and Austin argue that sustainable recovery requires recognising our interconnectedness and the importance of contributing positively to those around us. The conversation touches on the idea that while focusing on self-care is vital, it should not be the sole focus. A fulfilling life involves engaging with others and contributing to society, which aligns with some Christian teachings on finding oneself through service to others.
They stress that a self-centred approach to recovery can lead to unsustainable outcomes, highlighting the need for repairing and nurturing relationships as part of the healing process. If you're curious about how your personal health affects your social environment, or if you're looking for ways to make your recovery journey more holistic, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how focusing on relational recovery can lead to a healthier, more connected life.
