My mind, body and spirit have fully recovered from the seemingly hopeless states they were in when I arrived. So I must be a recovered alcoholic addict. But since I'm also continually improving, I'm a recovering addict, alcoholic too.
What does it mean to be 'recovered' or 'recovering'? In this episode of 'Sobriety Rocks', Kirk Waterman dives into this often-debated topic, sharing his personal insights and experiences. Kirk doesn't just talk the talk; he's walked the path of addiction and recovery himself. He believes that being 'recovered' is about more than just abstaining from substances. It's about reclaiming and improving your mind, body, and spirit.
Kirk shares his thoughts on how the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous can lead to a complete recovery, challenging the notion that one can never be fully recovered from addiction. He highlights the importance of spiritual healing, meditation, and self-compassion in overcoming the despair that often accompanies addiction. The episode wraps up with a powerful message of hope and a calming meditation, offering listeners practical tools to support their own recovery journeys.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the process, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
