Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction!
Today I unexpectedly dive into the 12 steps--the ways in which the language of them keeps many people sick in and pout of recovery--and the ways in which I have reimagined them over more than a decade. This is a huge passion point for me and one of the big reasons I wrote my book in the first place. Austin and I discuss his story from addiction to recovery before dissecting the ways in which the steps have transformed our lives, but only after we had truly hit the level bot desperation required to release our limiting beliefs. If you are struggling and the steps sound like a cult, I GET IT! They were written a long time ago and need some serious updating. I promise that if we take a scientific and trauma-informed approach to these steps, extracting the universal messages in each, there is a way forward.
Stay tuned and leave a comment if you feel inspired!
