To start with it, you know, if someone was to say: do I personally- that's the first thing- is, don't ask, does everyone need to do I personally need to cut out intoxicants from my life completely if I've had a problem with one form of addiction or one method of addiction?
When it comes to addiction recovery, the terms 'sobriety' and 'abstinence' often get mixed up. But as Clare Waismann and David Livingston discuss in this episode, they're not quite the same. For some, sobriety means steering clear of all substances, while for others, it might just mean avoiding their main vice. This episode is all about figuring out what works best for you. Clare and David highlight the importance of personalized treatment plans and caution against one-size-fits-all solutions.
They also tackle the pitfalls of labeling and stigmatizing those on their recovery journey. If you're curious about whether you need to cut out all intoxicants or just focus on your primary addiction, this episode offers some valuable insights. It's a reminder that recovery is deeply personal, and finding your path means trusting yourself and what feels right for you.
