Balancing Pain and Sobriety: Insights from Don't Die Wisconsin

Your brain's going to go haywire, and I wish I would have been able to like say that to myself: every day like this is normal. You know- and luckily the people that I included in the decision making process said that to me- that, like, it's just got to run its course, man, and you know it'll pass because you got outside of your first days of sobriety, which means it passes.
How do you handle pain when you're in recovery? In this heartfelt episode of 'Don't Die Wisconsin', Ryan opens up about his recent dental emergencies and the tricky balance of managing pain without jeopardizing sobriety. Sharing his raw experiences, Ryan delves into the confusion of distinguishing between necessary pain relief and the haunting whispers of addiction. Kevin and Patrick join the conversation, offering their own stories and wisdom on pain management.

The episode isn't just about pain—it's about trust, support, and the ongoing journey of recovery. They tackle the tough questions: How do you know when painkillers are essential? How do you silence that inner addict's voice? And most importantly, how do you maintain faith in yourself through it all?
With a mix of humor and deep empathy, this episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with pain in sobriety or supporting someone who is.
