Manage episode 452198524 series 2931758
Can the holiday season be truly joyous without the shadow of substance temptation? Join me, Steve Bisson, as we explore the compelling differences between sobriety and recovery—two paths often confused but profoundly distinct. I'll guide you through the layered complexities of maintaining a sober lifestyle during the holidays. With gatherings aplenty, learn why the 12-step programs of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous might just be the lifeline you—or someone you love—needs. Through community and shared experiences, find out how recovery transforms lives, offering not just abstinence but a supportive structure to thrive amidst holiday challenges.
Your journey to lasting recovery is not one you must undertake alone. In this episode, I emphasize the vital role of allies, those who stand by you as you navigate the tumultuous waters of addiction recovery. Learn how establishing clear personal boundaries and leveraging resources like therapy and support groups can reinforce your resolve. With insights from our upcoming guest, Daniel Gospardek, prepare to empower yourself and others on this transformative path. Whether you're in recovery or a supportive ally, this conversation offers the insights and encouragement needed to navigate the season with resilience and hope.
