Instinctive Talk Ep.9 Acceptance
Hi, welcome to Instinctive Talk, I’m your host Jay Insalaco. On this episode I’ll be talking about acceptance and what it has done for me in my recovery.
I’ve been living with bipolar disorder type 1 and addiction issues since 1995. Throughout the years I struggled with fear and acceptance. The fear was caused by the unknown of 12 step programs and the world of mental illness. I had accepted my life of recovery from addiction faster than living with my mental illness. For me, It was easier to accept not taking drugs and alcohol because I could physically “control” not taking a drug or a drink which put me in the driver seat. But for my mental illness, I couldn’t accept it; because of my mental illness, I had no “control” over my mind and my stability.
