Getting What You Need: Embracing Acceptance in Recovery
“We don't always get what we want, which is sometimes material things, but we get what we need, which grows our soul spirit like on a soul level. It just looks different than how we thought it was going to get delivered to us, but the byproduct was the same.”
Ever found yourself grappling with the gap between what you want and what you actually get? Lynn and Vikki dive right into this conundrum in this episode of 'Telling On Ourselves'. These two sober pals tackle the tricky topic of acceptance, sharing their personal stories about learning to embrace what life throws at them, even when it’s not what they had in mind.
They chat about the difference between being selfish and self-seeking, and why doing the next right thing is a mantra worth living by. Lynn even throws in a hilarious childhood story that perfectly captures those 'first thought wrong' moments we all know too well. If you're on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of humor, wisdom, and heartfelt honesty.
Tune in for a candid discussion that reminds us all that sometimes, what we need is far more valuable than what we want.
