Facing Paranoia and Denial: A Room On My Own - Episode 24 of Flat Out Recovery

Well, it's funny how we end up in one room, isn't it? I didn't want to be there any more than I wanted to be anywhere else. When actually in front of me there were several bottles, several cans, faggash all over the place, and I have managed to be sick on a plate, and I am ignoring all of that because I have seen the spider's web.
Ever wondered how paranoia and denial can shape the life of someone struggling with addiction? In this episode of Flat Out Recovery, Richard Woodward brings you the gripping story of a woman battling these very issues. She’s not alone, though; the episode also dives into the concept of 'drunk cleaning' and the stark reality of living in a single room during active addiction versus the transformative journey of recovery.
The hosts, all in recovery themselves, share their personal experiences, making the conversation both relatable and enlightening. But it's not all doom and gloom. The podcast manages to inject humor into these heavy topics, offering a comforting and humanizing perspective on addiction. From the chaos of gambling addiction to the fog of alcohol-induced memory loss, this episode covers it all.
