Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this episode of the RAW Recovery Podcast, the focus is on the importance of reciprocal relationships in recovery. Many people in recovery have experienced one-sided relationships, where either too much was given or taken, often leading to feelings of guilt or obligation. Sobriety forces an honest examination of how we relate to others, highlighting the need for balance, mutual respect, and boundaries.
This episode emphasises that healthy relationships are built on reciprocity, where effort and respect flow both ways. With a light-hearted touch, including some dad jokes and personal anecdotes, the host discusses how relationships should not be transactional but rather a give-and-take dynamic. He shares personal experiences and insights into maintaining balance in relationships, even when life gets hectic. The host also introduces a new AI band, Odd Duck Out, adding a fun twist to the episode.
So, if you're looking to understand how to foster healthier relationships in recovery, this episode is a must-listen. How can you ensure your relationships are balanced and mutually beneficial?
