In order to connect with that kind of gentleness and compassion that you can have for yourself,

you might have to go through a lot of pain.

And I want to maybe emphasize to people that, you know, it's part of the roadmap.

That pain is not that you're doing it wrong.

It might actually be that you're doing it beautifully right.

Welcome to the Ignited Recovery podcast, a new way forward for anyone looking for answers

but feeling left out.

If you've been searching for empowerment, triumph, and purpose, you've found them right here.

You won't hear the same solutions and you're not going to have any excuses to fall back on,

because Ignited Recovery allows heroes to rise and become their best selves.

I'm Dr. Adi Jaffe, and I can't wait to be your guide on this journey.

Are you ready to become an ignited hero?

I don't know if you know anything about the work we do at Ignited or any of the stuff that I've done before.

I know a little bit of it, but if you want to tell me more, I'm very happy to hear it. Well, just a non-traditional and in that way, non-12-step-based sort of approach.

And so I'm excited about this aspect of the conversation because I've been of the mind.

12-stuffs to be updated for a while.

So I think that'll be a cool conversation to have and hopefully one people will listen to.

When did you, I see the thing in front of me, the PDF in front of me, when do you start putting this out?

So this is something that's been going on for decades.

I, you know, I have, I encountered the 12 steps through friends, maybe over 20 years ago, maybe 30 years ago.

Okay.

I'm a therapist.
