Idle Hands: Shifting Our Focus in Recovery
Manage episode 311420948 series 3120290
In this episode, I am talking with Barbie the Welder, and you have an opportunity to win one of five copies of her book The Inspiration Blueprint. With over a dozen ways to enter through this Gleam contest https://gleam.io/competitions/S4Wxj-recover-yourself-barbie-the-welder-the-inspiration-blueprint-giveaway
We are talking all about mindset and have a purpose in recovery. Our addictions are symptoms of the disease of not having a purpose. And sometimes you must try something just to find something. I am no longer an artist in the way I was, but it helped me change my mindset. Today, I am using what I learned as an artist and spreading my work which is deep and meaningful. I have a purpose and it started in one place and it is constantly moving. I am so ecstatic to be giving away copies of this book and to be talking with Barbie
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode addresses reengaging drinking while in recovery. This is something that Barbie talks about, and I support, her recovery. I still consider her in recovery, while no longer sober. The purpose in her life has taken the front seat in her life. Her mindset and self-love are leading the way. This is obviously not for everyone, and it is not for me, but I love that Barbie is where she is within her recovery to be able to do this.

Questions to consider and discuss for yourself and for recovery groups:
What did you do as a child that would excite you today if there was no judgment or expectation?
Can you find things you do to hide from yourself or others? Are those connected to your addictions/pacifiers?
Where have people told you that you cannot follow a path that excited you?
It is important that you are ready to step into your own and stop playing a victim cursed by things around you. If you are interested in working together reach out at https://www.martinjon.com/
