When is it okay to move away from 12 step programs? Is it okay? Or are we destined to drink or use again?

For some people, that's a dangerous prospect to consider, especially in early recovery. For others, it might be a way of honoring the need for something more.

My guest Eric Zimmer, host of the wildly popular podcast "The One You Feed" and I are going to get into the nuances of recovery, how we evolve over the long term and so much more.

Before we jump in, a quick announcement. If you find yourself skipping your self care practices like meditation, exercise, or connecting with others, then you're probably out of balance. Over time, this leads to increased anxiety, burnout, and ultimately feelings of "not good enough".

As a chronic overachiever and goal getter, I fall into this trap myself. The one practice I have found that really helps me to get back on track is a 15 minute journaling exercise. It helps me to validate my own feelings, resolve internal resistance, and get back into balance so I can take action on what matters most, without feeling overwhelmed.
