Noel Neu: Navigating Early Recovery and Childhood Addictions

So, uh, just want to put it out there that, uh, I greatly appreciate everyone who's been, uh, checking out the uh, you know, listening to the podcast um and also watching the videos on Youtube.
Ever wondered what the early stages of addiction recovery feel like? In this episode of 'By All Means Necessary', Marco Morillo continues his chat with Noel Neu, a licensed mental health counselor, who sheds light on the initial phase of recovery often referred to as the 'pink cloud'. Noel explains how this brief period of euphoria can quickly give way to old habits, including what he calls 'process addiction', where individuals turn to familiar childhood comforts to self-medicate.
Noel doesn’t just talk theory; he dives into his own battle with sugar addiction, sharing the practical tools that have helped him overcome it. He emphasizes the importance of connecting with our inner child and embracing humility as key steps in overcoming shame and trauma. These insights are not just for those in recovery but also for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction and mental health.
In a candid discussion, Noel also hints at his upcoming course designed to help people face their fears head-on. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone navigating their own recovery journey or supporting a loved one through theirs. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that offers both hope and practical advice.
