In today's episode, Early discusses the foundational ideas that the RD secular addiction recovery/sober curious support groups have been built upon. These ideas are a work in progress, but include:
-a land & history acknowledgement
-viewing oneself as a scientist and a test subject in our recovery
-the belief that we are powerful and already whole
-a practice of recognizing our addicted voice and distinguishing it from our core self
-a practice of reconnecting to our intuition
-forgiveness for ourselves instead of shame
-safe(r) space dynamic within the group, being grateful for our differences and treating each other with mutual respect
-leaning into discomfort and distinguishing the safe zone, growth zone, and panic zone
-valuing harm reduction as valid and life saving
