Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery

Here's a story I call "The Garbage Can Dilemma" that illustrates how deeply we internalize black and white thinking and what it looks like to come out of it.

Show Notes

Two stories about garbage cans are profiled to show how our thinking becomes much less rigid as we continue our journey of recovery. These stories also illustrate how recovery shows us how frequently we put up with things that annoy the f**k out of us when we don't have to.

We GET TO have choices in our lives as a result of recovery - choices about the kinds of garbage cans we have, what kind of socks we wear, and everything else. We don't have to think rigidly, and we don't have to put up with stuff that annoys us day in and day out.

What is Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery?

This is the podcast "Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery." It will help people who want to heal to move from fragmented to whole.

Hi, I'm Barb! I share my experience, strength and hope from 12 step recovery in each episode. They're all 20 minutes or less. Unlike most recovery podcasts where you hear a person's whole story, in this one each episode is about a specific topic.

There are many life lessons from 12 step recovery that are applicable to those in and outside of recovery. This podcast brings some of those lessons to the airwaves, including such topics as learning acceptance, recognizing and overcoming victim mentality and establishing healthy boundaries.
