That way of thinking is what kept me in trouble for a long time, in that I was always looking in the wrong direction, and perhaps that's why I needed to go to rehab more than once, because it means nothing unless I engage with it.
Ever wondered what rehab is really like? This episode of 'Flat Out Recovery' gives you a front-row seat. Host Richard Woodward and his guests don't sugarcoat the process—they share the raw, unfiltered truth about rehabilitation. From the highs of newfound hope to the lows of isolation and relapse, they cover it all. One recurring theme is the importance of fully engaging with the rehab process.
As one guest puts it, 'I thought I knew it all, but that mindset kept me stuck. Rehab only works if you work with it.' The episode also dives into the emotional toll addiction takes, not just on the individual but on everyone around them. The sense of isolation that often accompanies addiction is laid bare, making the point that recovery is as much about reconnecting with others as it is about personal healing.
And then there's the ever-present risk of relapse, a topic tackled head-on. The hosts discuss how to stay committed even when setbacks occur, stressing that relapse isn't a failure but a part of the journey. Amid these serious discussions, there are lighter moments too—like when Reg the cat makes an unexpected appearance in the bushes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of rehab's challenges and rewards.
