Days of Wine and Roses: A Raw Look at Addiction and Recovery

And to me that was a hopeful message that you can recover, even if it doesn't go perfectly the first time and, and, as I certainly know, relapse well, it doesn't have to be part of recovery, it is often part of the process of finding recovery.
Ever wondered how a classic film can shed light on the realities of addiction and recovery? In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', hosts team up with Mark and Anna from the Recovered podcast to dissect the movie 'Days of Wine and Roses'. This isn't just a film review; it's a deep dive into the raw and often painful truths about alcoholism and its impact on relationships.
Joe and Kirsten's journey in the movie sparks a candid conversation about codependency, busting myths about who can be an alcoholic, and the gritty process of completing a Fourth Step inventory. Mark and Anna bring their own experiences to the table, making the discussion relatable and grounded. They talk about navigating family chaos and avoiding situations that could derail recovery efforts.
The group doesn't shy away from tough topics, like what to do when kids are involved or dealing with the 'bad boy' persona linked to addiction. This episode wraps up with a listener-suggested song, 'If the Law Don't Want You', perfectly capturing the movie's themes. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the complexities of addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt reflections.
Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is inspiring.
