Facing Dishonesty and Relapse in Early Recovery: Real Stories and Hard Truths

Sometimes we just can't tell what's going on with people. The deception is something they can't carry on anymore way before.
Imagine the struggle of pretending to be sober just to keep loved ones off your back. In this episode of 'Flat Out Recovery', Richard Woodward and his guests tackle the tough topic of dishonesty in early addiction recovery. You'll hear firsthand accounts from individuals who went to great lengths to fake their sobriety, sometimes even convincing themselves they were on the right path.
The hosts discuss how this facade can lead to deeper issues and relapse, stressing the importance of honesty in the recovery journey. They also explore how people in early recovery react to each other's relapses, often with judgment rather than support. This episode doesn't shy away from the messy realities of addiction. It even dives into the peculiar and hazardous world of cooking under the influence.
From burning their mouths on microwaved meals to trying to cook while intoxicated, the stories shared are both eye-opening and cautionary. If you're in recovery, know someone who is, or just want to understand the complexities of addiction better, this episode offers a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges faced in early sobriety. Tune in for a mix of heartfelt stories, tough love, and a bit of humor as 'Flat Out Recovery' brings these important issues to light.
