Episode Overview
Developing a healthy escape plan and setting boundaries are crucial for lasting recovery. Defining freedom in recovery helps in identifying positive activities to replace threatening behaviors.

If you start doing some of these things, you're going to start noticing some incredible differences in your life and experience that newness of life that you came in here longing for.
