Stick around, and the same thing will most likely happen to you.
Starting your recovery journey can be overwhelming, but you're not alone. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C Moyers taps into Michael Graubart's book 'Step Up' to tackle some of the most common questions newcomers face. Graubart's practical approach to the first three steps of recovery provides a solid foundation for anyone just starting out.
Moyers discusses the importance of self-care, especially during those tough early days, and why it's okay to take what resonates with you and leave the rest. Curious about the etiquette in-step meetings? Moyers breaks down why crosstalk is discouraged and how maintaining a safe environment is crucial for everyone to feel comfortable sharing. Anonymity is another big topic, and Moyers explains why it's a cornerstone of most-step fellowships and the potential pitfalls of breaking it.
Should you tell your friends, family, or co-workers about your recovery journey? Moyers offers thoughtful advice on this sensitive issue. He also delves into the significance of making amends and seeking forgiveness, stressing that while you might not be able to mend every relationship, actively working through the steps can lead to personal growth and healing. This episode wraps up with a nudge to dive deeper into Michael Graubart's book for more insights.
Whether you're new to recovery or just looking for a refresher, Moyers' supportive and straightforward style will leave you feeling informed and hopeful.
