Sometimes we've talked about how the addiction is such a big issue and causes so much pain and chaos, that it's easy to focus on it as the problem for everything. But once they start healing, or even get to a place where they're healthier, you're left with having to recognize your own problems or the way you're contributing to things.
Life's a balancing act, especially when you're navigating addiction recovery and mental health challenges. In this heartfelt episode of the Boy Problems Podcast, hosts Katie, Jessica, and Shannon come together to share their personal journeys and the progress they've made. Katie opens up about her own mental health struggles and the ups and downs faced by her support group members.
Jessica talks candidly about the constant fear of relapse in her partner Casey's recovery journey, and how she tries to find joy in the good times while managing that fear. The conversation also touches on the pressures of maintaining a regular podcast schedule and the importance of taking breaks when needed. Katie admits to feeling guilty for forgetting her husband's sobriety anniversary but also celebrates the progress he's made.
They dive into the complexities of pain management in recovery, especially when surgeries are involved. Katie and Jessica recount their experiences advocating against narcotic painkillers for their husbands, highlighting the fine line between effective pain management and avoiding addiction triggers. This episode is a raw and real look at the everyday challenges and victories in addiction recovery, offering listeners valuable insights and a sense of community.
