But the thing about the steps for me, um, I'm not such a good writer. Okay, so, when I was in my recovery the first time, I had another great sponsor, um, he worked me through the steps, and this was obviously Some Odd Years Ago.
Have you ever wondered how crucial sponsorship and the recovery steps are in overcoming addiction? In this episode of Radio Rehab, Dayna Keyes sits down with guest co-host James K. to uncover the significance of these elements in his own journey to sobriety. James opens up about his personal battles with addiction and how finding the right sponsor and diligently working through the recovery steps played a pivotal role in his healing process.
He candidly discusses the hurdles he faced, such as struggling with Step 4 due to his writing difficulties, and how his sponsor's support was instrumental in pushing through. The conversation also touches on the often-overlooked issue of jealousy in recovery. James shares his early experiences of envying others who seemed to progress faster and how he learned to focus on his own path instead.
The episode doesn't shy away from exploring alternative therapies either; James talks about his initial decision to quit music, believing it was a trigger for his substance use, only to rediscover its therapeutic value later on. This episode is not just a deep dive into the mechanics of recovery but also a heartfelt narrative that underscores the importance of finding what works best for you.
Whether it's through a sponsor, the steps, or even music therapy, the key takeaway is that recovery is a personal journey, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Plus, don't miss out on hearing about the upcoming 'Jammin' for Unity' fundraiser, which supports music therapy programs and other recovery initiatives. Tune in for an episode filled with real talk, practical advice, and a touch of humor, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction.
