"If I was able to hang on enough to live through the miseries of my addiction, may I translate the same will to survive in my own recovery program."
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This throwback episode of the RAW Recovery Podcast, originally recorded on May 31st, 2021, revisits the often unspoken courage required for survival and recovery. It's not about grand gestures but the quiet resilience honed through personal battles with addiction. The discussion covers the essence of open and closed AA meetings, the responsibility to newcomers, and the humility that comes with recognising recovery as a gift meant to be shared.
You'll hear about the everyday courage that those battling addiction develop, and how it can be transformed into a force for positive change. The host brings a warm, candid approach, touching on the importance of being open-minded and how faith can bolster one's courage. This episode also tackles the misconception that recovery is exclusive, highlighting that it should remain accessible to all who seek it.
Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, listeners are reminded of the power of community and the importance of helping others in their recovery journey. With a mix of humour and heartfelt reflection, this episode is a reminder that the courage to survive can be channelled into constructive action. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, there's something here to inspire and motivate you to keep moving forward. What could you achieve by harnessing your survival courage for good?
