    Part IV: Emotional Intelligence: The Missing Link in Recovery

    Text and Be Heard Emotional intelligence transforms recovery from a daily struggle into a journey of self-discovery and healing. Most of us enter recovery as emotional children in adult bodies, capable of identifying only the most basic feelings while missing the complex emotional landscape that defines the human experience. For years, I operated as an eight-year-old emotionally, despite being a thirty-year-old man when I entered my first 12-step meeting. I could recognize anxiety, distinguish between happiness and sadness, and feel excitement—but that limited emotional vocabulary left me unable to process the deeper hurts driving my addiction. This emotional stunting isn't unique; it's epidemic among those struggling with substance use disorders and recognized by the American Medical Association as a disease in itself. The path forward requires asking ourselves daily: "How do I feel?" While this seems simple, it's revolutionary for those who've spent decades disconnected from their emotional reality. As my therapist explained during seven years of emotional education, "A child has one feeling at a time. An adult has multiple feelings all the time." This distinction marks the difference between emotional immaturity and the awareness needed for lasting recovery. When we can identify multiple emotions simultaneously—recognizing that hurt often underlies anger, that gratitude can coexist with sadness—we begin developing the emotional intelligence that connects us to ourselves, our spiritual nature, and others in genuinely intimate relationships.

    Jacquie from Florida Talks about Trauma, Abuse, 12 Step Rooms, Healing and ACA

    Text and Be Heard "Healing is possible, but time alone won't heal trauma – emotional work does." This powerful insight frames our conversation with Jackie, who brings 28 years of sobriety and hard-won wisdom to the discussion of trauma recovery. What happens when you've maintained your sobriety but still feel emotionally broken? Jackie illuminates the path many recovery journeys follow: first comes the "grace period" where simply being sober feels miraculous, followed by the inevitable surfacing of underlying trauma that originally drove the addiction. As she explains, "All of the reasons that we escaped reality are going to surface because we haven't healed any of them." The conversation takes unexpected turns through lighthearted french fry preferences before diving deep into why facing our past is essential for true freedom. Jackie shares her journey through multiple 12-step programs, therapy, and internal family systems work, explaining how each step brought different pieces of healing. Her explanation of how childhood trauma creates protective "parts" that continue running our adult lives offers a profound framework for understanding seemingly irrational behaviors and reactions. Most compelling is Jackie's perspective on generational healing. "In my family, I am probably the first person willing to look at any of it," she shares, illuminating how our willingness to heal stops patterns that might otherwise continue for generations. Her sister and mother's contrasting approaches to emotional pain demonstrate that while not everyone chooses healing, those who do create ripple effects of transformation. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in emotional health, this episode offers compassionate insights about the courage it takes to heal. As Jackie reminds us, "Pay attention to what life is trying to get your attention on, because life is talking to you all the time." Let this conversation be one of those signs pointing toward your own healing journey. Join our Facebook group Recovery Freedom Circle to connect with others walking similar paths of transformation.
