Compassion

"Compassion" is a word we hear thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean to have compassion? Do we always know when someone is being compassionate towards us? And what's the difference between compassion and empathy?
In this episode, Willy, Neight, and Cameron get real with compassion. Sometimes, it may be hard to see that someone is compassionate if the message they deliver is blunt and honest. But if you can get past taking it personal, often times we see the love in their actions. Most of us addicts and alcoholics are here because the people around us expressed compassion. Now we get to look at those around us who may be stuck in a difficult experience with compassion. And offer a hand up, not a hand out.
This week's WarStory is an amazing one. Pamela shares with us what it was like growing up in Mexico and starting to drink from an early age. After many tumultuous years of "needing to get her shit together" she was able to finally get the help she needed only to relapse after being down the road a ways. Listen in as she talks about her journey back from relapse and into a space where she can now serve others as a one on one Recovery Coach. Thank you Pamela for sharing your amazing story! And for making yourself available to those in need!

Pamela has put together some great online courses and "coaching meditations" available on-line at mybadassrecovery.com. You can also follow her on IG at @mybadassrecovery where she invites you to DM her with any questions, comments, or if you just need to talk to someone. Check her out and give her a follow to continue to support the Recovery community! And if you, or anybody you know is struggling with addiction, Pamela is available as a Recovery Coach. Please have the courage to get the help you need and reach out to someone, if not Pamela or The Other Side of Hell podcast directly.
