The world is shining, the world is turning and I'm still in it, which is marvellous. I think I suppose you're more aware of doing it if you're sober.
Ever wondered how addiction treatment varies from country to country? In this episode of 'Flat Out Recovery', Richard Woodward and his feline co-host, Reg the Al-A-Cat, take you on a journey through different global approaches to addiction and recovery. Jacques joins the conversation to share his personal experiences living in Switzerland, offering a unique perspective on how addiction is treated there. He sheds light on the cultural differences, language barriers, and the importance of early-stage support in recovery.
Richard and Reg also tackle the heavy topics of stigma and stereotypes that often surround addiction, discussing how these can hinder recovery efforts. The episode doesn't shy away from the mental health challenges faced during recovery and the crucial period of adjusting to life post-addiction. To lighten things up, there's a humorous bit about Reg's ongoing struggle with Dickens.
This episode is a rich tapestry of insights and real-life stories that highlight the universal yet diverse nature of addiction and recovery. Tune in for an engaging mix of humor, honesty, and heartfelt support.
