#093 | Does Social Acceptability Equal Personal Recovery | Dylan‘s Warstory

Does social accountability equal personal recovery?

 

As long as our outsides look good then who cares about our insides, right? This was often the thought we had when we were using. As long as certain boxes are checked, its okay that we’re spiritually bankrupt. Boy were we wrong. 

 

Join us this week where we talk about this thinking error and what it took to realize the truth. This conversation was inspired by the warstory this week from Dylan from the Not So Anonymous Podcast. Dylan figured having the house, the wife, the cars, and the job meant he was free to do whatever he wanted. It wasn’t long before he saw his life crumbling around him and could no longer keep up the facade. Tune in to hear how he turned it around and what his life in recovery looks like today. 

 

Thanks Dylan for sharing your story!
