Celebrating five years of The Recovery Pod, Stevie J takes a reflective journey through his personal growth and the evolution of the podcast. This episode is a heartfelt look at the ups and downs experienced over half a decade, highlighting the stages of recovery that often come in five-year intervals. Stevie shares his own story, marking ten years clean, and examines how his thinking, feelings, and behaviours have transformed since the podcast's inception.
It's an honest conversation about complacency, vulnerability, and the importance of self-acceptance in recovery. Stevie touches on the challenges faced during the past year, acknowledging the absence of new episodes but emphasising the need to keep the spirit of recovery alive. He discusses how defence mechanisms formed during addiction can persist unchecked, and how he's worked to break down those barriers through step work and relationship experiences. There's a candid admission of fluctuating emotions and finding balance amidst life's chaos.
Through anecdotes and humour, Stevie explores the importance of setting boundaries and standing firm in one's truth, even when faced with opposition. The episode is a testament to growth, learning, and the continuous pursuit of self-discovery. With a promise to keep the conversations going and a commitment to sharing experiences, Stevie invites you to reflect on your own journey. Whether you're in the early stages or well into recovery, there's something relatable and inspiring here for everyone.
