When you go to a meeting, it reminds you of what might happen if you made the choice to pick up again.
Ever wondered how life changes after deciding to get sober? In this episode of 'Power of the Mind', Gregory Struve, a seasoned counselor and owner of Granite Mountain Behavioral Healthcare, sits down with host Elicia Morigeau to unpack the journey of being a recovering addict. Struve sheds light on the transformative power of community support and how it plays a crucial role in maintaining sobriety.
He also dives into the genetic factors that can make some people more susceptible to addiction, and why relapse prevention strategies like 12-step programs are vital for long-term recovery. The conversation doesn't shy away from the emotional and spiritual aspects of recovery, either. Struve shares his thoughts on how spirituality and connecting with a higher power can provide a strong foundation for those in recovery.
He also touches on the social dynamics within recovery communities and the potential pitfalls of substituting one addiction for another. This episode offers a compassionate and hopeful perspective for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Gregory Struve’s insights remind us that while the road to recovery is challenging, it's also filled with opportunities for growth and connection.
