Why the lack of support not following through, you know. I think I would have had a lot better chance.
Holidays can be a tough time for those in recovery, but being sober can also bring new and meaningful experiences. In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', host Tom Conrad and guest Benjamin B. reflect on their own holiday experiences and the profound differences between attending celebrations high versus sober. They dive into the heart of addiction treatment and support programs, weighing the pros and cons of each approach.
Tom and Ben share personal stories, highlighting how Ben found solace in 12-step programs while also benefiting from professional treatment facilities. They discuss the importance of understanding when to choose a treatment facility over a support group, particularly for addressing deep-rooted issues like trauma and PTSD. The episode sheds light on why some individuals might need the structured environment of a rehab center, while others may thrive in community-based support groups.
Tom and Ben also touch on the often overlooked challenges of medication-assisted treatment and the unique hurdles faced during holiday seasons. This conversation is packed with practical advice and heartfelt reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their recovery journey or supporting a loved one through theirs.
