Limited Series: Foundations of Recovery
Episode: One - Acceptance
In this episode, Christina introduces the concept of acceptance in addiction recovery. Acceptance involves acknowledging the presence of a problem, taking responsibility for our actions, and embracing the need for change. It also requires letting go of denial and facing the reality of the situation. Embracing change and building self-compassion are important aspects of acceptance. Christina encourages listeners to join support groups and be open to new perspectives and strategies. The next episode will focus on accountability in recovery.
Our Goal: Building A Life We Don't Want To Escape From!
**If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals. We only speak from our own perspective and experience. This recording should not be used as a replacement for professional help but as encouragement in your recovery journey.
