The Worst Day when we go into sobriety is still better than The Best Day whilst the addiction is in full flow.
Ever thought about how addiction might resemble life in a cult? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive into this intriguing comparison. Martin opens up about his own journey of leaving a cult, shedding light on the striking parallels between that experience and addiction recovery. He shares how both situations can lead to financial strain, mental health challenges, and a profound sense of isolation from society.
The episode explores the loss of social networks and the battle with negative self-beliefs that often accompany both addiction and cult life. Graham and Martin's conversation provides a fresh perspective on the mental processes behind cult dynamics and addiction, offering listeners a deeper understanding of these complex issues. They also discuss the concept of 'deprogramming'—a term often used in the context of leaving cults—and how it relates to rebuilding self-worth in recovery.
This episode promises to be both eye-opening and thought-provoking, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricate links between addiction and cult life.
