It's creating that self-awareness that when you get home, when you either have a stressful day or when that negative experience comes back to your mind or so forth, you're able to say, no, I don't need that substance.
What happens when you mix personal struggle with a passion for helping others? You get someone like Guy Iacono. In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Guy, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of the Clean Living Community. Guy opens up about his own journey through mental illness and addiction, sharing not just his struggles but also his triumphs and lessons learned along the way.
You'll hear about the pivotal role relationships played in his recovery, and why self-awareness is a cornerstone of healing. Brendan and Guy tackle some common misconceptions about mental health and addiction, debunking myths and shedding light on the reality of these conditions. They discuss the dangers of seeking quick fixes and the importance of taking a more holistic approach to recovery.
Therapy, seeking help, and the invaluable support from communities like Minding Your Mind are highlighted as essential tools for anyone on this journey. One of the standout moments in this episode is when Guy talks about the 'three concepts of recovery': people, places, and things. It's a simple yet profound framework that has guided him and many others toward lasting recovery.
The conversation also touches on the power of sharing stories, not just as a form of therapy but as a way to inspire others to take their first steps toward healing. If you're looking for a blend of personal insight and practical advice on mental health and addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Guy's story and discover how you too can find hope and support on your own journey.
