Rediscovering Joy: Fun and Play in Sobriety with Tamar Medford & Lane Kennedy
"Long term recovery takes time, but you're not alone in this, because lane and I are here to guide and walk this journey beside you. Yes, how to have fun, how to have a playful life. But then I don't even remember the so-called fun, which was not fun, because I usually was reminded the next morning that I needed to apologize to a bunch of people for something I didn't even realize I did right, right, right."
