Pandemic Struggles: Chris's Journey Home and the State of Treatment Centers

Chris, you know well more than anybody, I would say well more than most people, how hard it is to walk away from that kind of life and to make those changes that you didn't want to make because of it.
Picture this: you're trying to stay sober during a global pandemic, and suddenly, you have to travel back home, away from your usual support system. That's the situation Chris Goss finds himself in on this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast. Hosts Corey Winfield and Chris Goss dive into the real-life challenges of maintaining sobriety when routines are disrupted and stress levels are through the roof.
Chris opens up about his trip back home and the difficulties he faced in avoiding triggers and staying on track. It's a candid look at how the pandemic has thrown a wrench into recovery efforts for many. Corey also brings up a pressing concern: the impact of COVID-19 on treatment centers. With increased stress and isolation, there's a fear that substance abuse rates could climb.
The duo doesn't shy away from discussing the importance of resources and recovery programs during these trying times. They even touch on how media shapes public opinion about addiction and recovery, making it clear that support systems are more crucial than ever. Throughout the episode, you'll hear honest reflections on the difficulty of making life changes and the vital role of having a solid support network.
By the end, Corey and Chris encourage listeners to explore the resources available on 217recovery.com and get involved in recovery programs. This episode is a raw, heartfelt conversation about staying sober in one of the most challenging periods we've faced. It's not just about sharing struggles but also about finding hope and resilience in community and support.
