I'm a big believer in like you saying that, or Madison. That is, at least having a unified house meeting where they're actually getting people to be honest about. But I think my personal opinion that early on in sobriety, bro, there's like someone's gonna have a you know kid in the house.
Ever wondered what life looks like after structured sober living? In this episode of the 'Learning to Lose' podcast, Pat Ridge and his co-host Billy sit down with Michaelis and Chris to explore this very topic. The conversation is both candid and enlightening, offering a deep dive into the realities of addiction recovery and the hurdles faced in early sobriety.
Michaelis and Chris share their personal stories, shedding light on the benefits of structured sober living and the critical role it played in their recovery. They emphasize the importance of honesty in house meetings, where everyone is encouraged to speak openly about their struggles and triumphs. This raw honesty, they argue, is key to maintaining sobriety and building a supportive community.
The discussion also touches on the disease model of addiction, explaining how addiction can be viewed as a physical allergy to substances like drugs and alcohol. This perspective helps to destigmatize addiction, framing it as a medical condition rather than a moral failing. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Michaelis and Chris also delve into the challenges they faced after graduating from their sober living program.
From dealing with recidivism to finding new ways to cope with stress, their stories are a testament to the ongoing journey of recovery. If you're interested in mental health, sobriety, or simply looking for some heartfelt advice on overcoming life's challenges, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Michaelis and Chris's valuable insights and find out how they've managed to navigate life after structured sober living.
