Ever wondered how being open to learning can transform your journey through recovery? This episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosted by Wes Thompson and Austin Hill, dives into the idea of 'willingness to be taught'. It's a concept that challenges the rigid mindset often found in addiction, introducing a fresh perspective that encourages change. The hosts discuss how addiction thrives on repetition and self-reliance, and how embracing humility can lead to healthier habits.
They highlight the connection between humiliation and humility, noting that while humiliation can damage self-esteem, humility invites courage and the choice to seek help. Wes and Austin share insights on learning new patterns and habits, emphasising that recovery is not just about stopping destructive behaviours but also adopting life-enhancing ones. They explore the idea that being teachable is a lifelong practice, essential for personal growth and leadership.
Great leaders, they argue, are those who listen first and remain curious throughout their lives. The episode also underscores the importance of community in recovery. A teachable spirit is open to receiving guidance and support from others, whether through a mentor, therapist, or support group. This openness enriches one's perspective and fosters healthier relationships.
So, if you're looking to break free from the chains of addiction and embrace a more fulfilling life, this episode might just offer the insights you need. Tune in for an engaging discussion that could inspire your path to recovery.
