28 Days: A Movie's Take on Addiction and Recovery

Really just trying to focus on your future self, who you want to be, and make that reality a fact.

That's the premise of the movie '28 Days', and in this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Dr. Adina Silvestri dives into why this film holds a special place in her heart. She explores how the movie portrays the struggles of addiction, the complexities of codependency, and the haunting shadows of intergenerational trauma. Ever wondered what role regret plays in your recovery journey? Dr.
Silvestri unpacks that too, shedding light on how holding onto past mistakes can hinder your progress. One of the most striking aspects of '28 Days' is its raw depiction of what it means to enter treatment under external pressures. Dr. Silvestri also shares her thoughts on the movie's portrayal of seeking reasons behind addiction, and why she feels this approach might be misguided.
The episode isn't just about critiquing the film; it's about drawing valuable lessons for anyone on a recovery journey. From identifying your role within a family dealing with addiction to understanding the importance of forming new, healthier relationships, there's a lot to take away. And if you've ever finished a movie wanting more, you'll relate to Dr. Silvestri's desire for a sequel that explores life post-recovery. Tune in to gain fresh perspectives and perhaps even a new favorite recovery resource.
