Addiction. Sobriety. Relapse. Shame… repeat. Sound familiar? If you're caught in the throes of addiction, odds are you've been here before. For many of us, the shame cycle keeps us locked in our addiction. The problem with shame is that it warps our understanding of guilt and takes it a step further by making us feel like we're a bad person rather than simply making a bad decision. But we want to remind you that there is a way out. There is a path toward healing.
In this conversation, Dr. Powers is once again joined by George Joseph, CEO of Positive Recovery Centers, as they discuss the importance of continued treatment on the recovery journey, why relapse doesn't mean you're broken, and the personal growth it takes in asking for help.
The biggest takeaway from this powerful conversation? That you're not alone in this journey and that there are people willing to lend a helping hand because they've been there. You're not too far gone, and you're not broken - your disease of addiction just makes you think you are. There is hope, and there is freedom on the other side of sobriety.
If you're ready to break the shame cycle, then this episode is for you!
