And that's really what I think a lot of people can learn in sobriety is that, like everything is possible in sobriety, you can write any script you want and your locus of control is now external and you can do things as opposed to being so constrained by a story and imprisoned by a dead-end story, which is addiction.
Imagine using your favorite movies as a tool to help you get sober. That's exactly what Angela Pugh and her guest, Ted Perkins, dive into in this episode of Addiction Unlimited. Angela, known for her straightforward advice and no-nonsense approach, explores a unique path to recovery that might just surprise you. Ted, a former Hollywood executive and screenwriter, shares his personal journey of watching 100 movies in 100 days to aid his sobriety.
They chat about how films like 'Lost Weekend' and 'Leaving Las Vegas' can provide profound insights into addiction and recovery. By analyzing these movies, Ted found a way to understand his own struggles and navigate his path to sobriety. Angela and Ted also discuss how addiction impacts relationships and the importance of community support in recovery. They wrap up with an inspiring conversation about how sobriety can unlock creativity and new possibilities in life.
This episode offers a fresh, cinematic lens on addiction recovery, showing that sometimes, the most unexpected tools can lead to the most meaningful transformations.
