Dallas Bragg says recovery works when you're surrounded by people who walk alongside you, not people trying to fix you. Your support network should create space for you to reconnect with what you already know about yourself, not give you answers.
In recovery, you need the right people around you. You don't need people who will try to fix you or tell you what to do. You need people who are there to walk beside you as you reconnect with your own inner wisdom. The answers and the truth are already inside you. You don't want people around you who make you feel like you have to get all the answers from them or from some other outside source. You need people who provide a safe space That encourages you to make your own choices about your own recovery route. The parts of yourself that you've disconnected from hold your deepest truths deep inside, waiting for you to unlock them. In your support network, you need people who will walk beside you, not direct you, into that process. This journey isn't about finding new answers. It's about reconnecting with the wisdom you've been carrying all along.
