Welcoming Serenity: Embracing Acceptance in Recovery

We sit together and I tell you things- silent, unborn, naked things- that only my god has heard me say. You do not turn away because you cannot bear to see your own unclaimed light shining in my eyes.
Ever thought about the impact of a warm welcome in your recovery journey? In Episode 215 of The Recovery Show, the host takes a heartfelt look at how acceptance and welcome play crucial roles in the 12-step recovery process. Inspired by Margaret Wolff's poem 'In Sweet Company', this episode invites you to reflect on how you were welcomed into recovery and how you can extend that same warmth to others.
The host shares personal experiences as both a sponsor and a listener, highlighting the honor and responsibility of being trusted with someone else's pain and struggles. There's also a deep dive into the importance of detachment—learning to show compassion without enabling addictive behaviors. This episode is a gentle reminder that our attitudes can profoundly influence our recovery journey.
Whether you're new to the 12-step program or a seasoned member, this episode offers valuable insights into fostering a supportive and compassionate community.
