Today's episode is about the relationship between trust, fear, and the search for happiness in recovery. I share about the vulnerability required to trust strangers in sobriety and to trust doctors in your recovery journey toward healing. Using the powerful song "Never Say Never" by The Fray as a backdrop for music therapy, I explore the loneliness that comes with self-imposed isolation and the courage it takes to reach out for help.
I reveal a bit of my inner dialogue, confronting the fears that lead to self-destruction and isolation while also recognizing the importance of facing everything to recover. This episode invites you to examine your own fears, the defensive walls you may build, and the steps you can take towards happiness, reminding us that facing our fears is the path to healing.
Join me for a conversation about my fear of abandonment, my fight for control, and the constant struggle to align actions with the pursuit of happiness, while not ignoring negative emotions that need to be processed in real-time. In sobriety, acronyms can offer wisdom, and today's is FEAR: Face Everything And Recover.
