51. Grieving Your Addiction In Recovery
Jan 13, 2024 Episode 51
Heather Bell, Josh Solem

The 5 Stages of Grief, ie the Kubler-Ross Grief Cycle, is well known and often applied for the death of a loved one or a similar life event, but here we will challenge our listeners to see how it, too, applies to addiction and recovery. When we can apply the same stages of grief to recovery from a substance use disorder, we can gain more empathy and understanding for those whom are struggling. For those with a SUD who find themselves grieving their substance or the lifestyle associated, we hope to shift the perspective of the shame that is likely accompanying the non-intentional grief periods. When we can all understand this perspective we are better able to lead with love and kindness and empathy and hope.
