In this episode of Courage Recovery, Roger L'Hereault dives into the heart of addiction recovery by focusing on triggers.

Roger breaks down the concept of 'misery' as a driving force behind addictive behaviours, emphasising the importance of reflection and honesty in the recovery process.
He explores various dimensions of life—medical, livelihood, legal, family, social, and psychiatric—that can contribute to emotional pain and potentially lead to relapse if not addressed properly. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Roger illustrates how crucial it is to identify and understand these triggers to build a robust relapse prevention plan. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, financial instability, or legal issues, recognising these stressors is the first step towards healing.
Roger's compassionate approach encourages listeners to seek honest feedback from their support network and to be rigorously truthful with themselves. He also highlights the importance of professional support in navigating these complex areas of life. The episode ends with a reminder that recovery is a journey requiring continuous effort and self-awareness. So, if you're looking for actionable strategies to manage your triggers and improve your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
