Waking up today felt different—there was a surge of energy within me that hadn't been there before. It's day 21 of our journaling journey, and the sense of achievement is palpable. We're celebrating this milestone by appreciating the power of affirmations and recognizing the irreplaceable role of friendship in recovery. Friends are the hidden strength behind every step we take towards healing; they're our fabulous, refreshing, intentional, enduring, nurturing defenders. In this episode, I share my insights on how these relationships have been pivotal in my own recovery process and invite you to reflect on the friendships that have supported your growth and healing.
Journaling has been our shared practice for the past three weeks, and I've seen firsthand the breakthroughs that can come from such a committed routine. I'm eager to hear your stories about the friends who have stood by you, unconditionally offering support when you needed it most. We discuss the essence of friendship within the recovery framework, and how it intertwines with evidence-based practices. There's an invigorating discussion waiting for you in today's episode, filled with the passion and heart that I, as a licensed and certified substance abuse mental health counselor, bring to the table. I'm passionate about guiding others on this path, and I hope by sharing our experiences, we can empower each other to embrace a brighter, healthier future.
Three questions I can answer for you:
1. How can friendships contribute to the recovery process from substance abuse or mental health issues?
2. What are some effective affirmations that can aid in the journey towards recovery and healing?
3. Can journaling consistently for three weeks truly make a significant difference in one's recovery journey, and how does it work?
