Summary
In our society, we are taught to hide our emotions and feelings. Most of us feel isolated even when we're among people. We pretend everything's okay, using our accomplishments and material possessions to hide the suffering and inadequacy that plagues us. We become addicted to substances, objects, and behaviors, when the key to our happiness is inside us.
Today's guest is Curt Clemenson. He's been clean and sober for 36 years. His life changed when he discovered who he really was and what he really wanted through the Twelve Steps. Once he began living according to his own values, life showed up for him in unbelievable ways. The inside work changed his outside world.
Curt says that the gifts of recovery are available to everyone, and you are not alone. Find out who you really are and design the life you were meant to have in recovery!
