Episode Overview
- Finding meditation and peace in unlikely places

I think being responsible for your own recovery is massive. If I today choose not to engage with my recovery, then I'm setting myself up to become a minister to society. That's not good behavior. Recovery is not a project or a tick box exercise; it's about finding a totally new way of living.
What does it mean to truly find your place in recovery? In this episode of 'Flat Out Recovery', the hosts dive into the often-overlooked aspects of finding peace and purpose. They chat about discovering meditation in the most unexpected places, beyond the usual routines and checklists. Ever thought a crowded café could be your meditation spot? Or maybe a quiet park bench?
The hosts share their personal experiences and insights on how these unique spaces contribute to a sense of belonging and self-discovery. The conversation also touches on the importance of both social connections and solitary moments. How do these elements help us unwind and understand ourselves better? The hosts explore how rehabilitation services provide a foundation, but emphasize that finding your own 'place' in recovery is a personal journey.
It's not just about following a set path; it's about creating your own. You'll hear about the evolution of their recovery journeys, highlighting the challenges and rewards of long-term sobriety. They discuss the significance of engaging with the recovery community and understanding one's role within it. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on building a life that goes beyond merely staying sober—it's about thriving and finding joy in unexpected corners of life.
