Bouncing Back: Aaron's Journey Through Job Loss and Recovery

When it comes to dealing with horrible news and grief, and in situations like these, where you have two options: either you can make it, you can let it break you, or you can let it motivate you to be like, I'm going to show you you should have never made this decision.
Ever wondered how to handle job loss without spiraling back into old habits? Aaron and Juan dive into this very challenge in episode 31 of the SFU Podcast. Aaron opens up about losing his job after three years and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. But instead of letting it drag him down, he shares how he navigated the situation without relapsing into addiction or falling into deep depression. It's a candid look at resilience and the power of community support.
The duo doesn't stop there. They also take a critical look at the book 'Meth=Sorcery' by Steve Box, discussing how certain language can perpetuate negative stereotypes about addiction and recovery. Their discussion is a reminder of the importance of words and how they can either uplift or stigmatize those in recovery. As always, Aaron and Juan mix humor with heartfelt honesty, making this episode both engaging and thought-provoking.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the journey, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in a package of wit and wisdom. Tune in for a blend of laughter, serious talk, and a fresh perspective on life's hurdles. Aaron's story is a testament to the strength it takes to stay sober amidst life's challenges, and Juan's thoughtful contributions add depth to the conversation.
