The hosts also shine a light on the critical role of sponsorship and the 12-step program, arguing that these should be at the heart of any effective recovery plan. Trauma's impact on addiction is another key topic, with discussions on how both patients and treatment centers share responsibility in the recovery journey. While they don't hold back on criticizing the industry, they also acknowledge the dedication of those working within it.
