"One of the best things about working on yourself is that you’re never going to be out of a job with that. I get to work on stuff for the rest of my life, and I still won’t be done."
Carvell is one of my favorites. Every time I read anything from or about him he inspires a deep rush of tenderness in me. For him, but also for myself. I think one of the things I most appreciate about certain folks in long-term recovery is that, by necessity, they have a robust relationship with mercy. There's nothing more important for surviving life with your soul intact and an enduring love for other people than that.
I love this and relate to so much. Thank you, Cornell, for inspiring me, this morning, to embrace some of the things I don’t want to do and in doing so, see more clearly. I also have a hard time with “enough” in every iteration.
This was awonderful article. Thank you. I find the Fellowship of recovery to be transformative. As we grow older, we become wiser with help of our community.
Loved this interview. As others have commented, Carvel Wallace's warmth and charisma come through. It's interesting to me as a reader and a person to notice in this series the way character and big heartednesses and serenity show up (or doesn't quite yet). I look forward to reading Wallace's work now.
Honest and true and thank you. But I believe you drank because you were afraid of living—because living means loving and loss. WTF wants that? But it’s still the best deal in town. 🤷🏼♂️
What a sweet, sweet spirit! Thank you for this collab ongoing series. It adds to my recovery—excellent questions and I like what Carvel suggested at the end when asked if there were any other aspects to cover, and he said God and shame. Not necessarily mixed together, but aren’t they?
