The bottom line is that recovery is a journey and there can be relapse along the way. What matters is that we come back to ourselves and our recovery.
Ever wondered what it's like to bounce back after nearly a decade of sobriety? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara chat with Pam Gaslow, author of the eye-catching memoir, 'Don't Bring Your Vibrator to Rehab'. Pam's story isn't just about relapse; it's about resilience and the long road back to recovery.
She opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of saying goodbye to alcohol and drugs, the surprising financial perks of sobriety, and the tricky world of sober dating. Lisa and Tawny dive into the importance of honesty in relationships, especially when it comes to potential partners who might not understand the gravity of addiction. They also touch on the seductive pull of drugs and alcohol in intimate situations, a challenge many in recovery face.
Pam's experience serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is a journey filled with ups and downs, but what truly matters is our ability to return to ourselves and our path. The episode doesn't shy away from the nitty-gritty details—like how counting days can be both motivating and daunting, or how small triggers can lead to big setbacks.
But it also celebrates the victories, like the joy of discovering new music through apps like Shazam, featured in their Music Minute segment. This episode is a raw and real look at the complexities of recovery, offering valuable insights for anyone navigating their own sobriety journey. Tune in to hear Pam's story and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to keep coming back, no matter how many times you stumble.
