Positive Connections Radio (Podcast) Episode 126 Step-2 “Revised” From Control to Connection HALT and Call for Backup-Episode (126): Coast to Coast with Mike Koch and Jim McLintock
In this 12-Step Podcast Series, Mike Koch and Jim McLintock discuss the importance of acknowledging the need for support and tools in recovery, particularly in the context of the 12-step secular program and Step-2. They explore the significance of vulnerability, the power of sharing experiences, and the journey of transformation that individuals undergo in recovery. The discussion emphasizes the importance of community, understanding, and the willingness to seek help as essential components of healing and well-being.
Takeaways We need support and tools beyond our current resources. Acknowledging our problems is the first step to recovery. Finding new tools is essential for restoring well-being. Sharing experiences helps reinforce our recovery. Vulnerability is key to building connections in recovery. Judgment can hinder our ability to connect with others. Transformation in recovery is a journey worth taking. Not everyone in recovery is a 'loser' or 'dirt bag.' Attending meetings can lead to meaningful connections. Gratitude for the present moment is crucial in recovery.
