Flat Out Recovery Episode 35: 'Telephones' – When the Party Doesn’t Stop
Alcoholism, addiction- they are there no matter what your background or experience. I'd rather call it working alcoholism or working addiction, in that they're still managing to work and earn money while they are drinking and using.
What happens when the party never really ends? In this episode of Flat Out Recovery, host Richard Woodward and his guests tackle the lingering effects of 'carrying on the party' long after everyone else has called it a night. They dive deep into how this behavior impacts daily life and the importance of taking responsibility in recovery. Sobriety isn't a magic wand that makes all problems disappear; it’s about changing how we deal with those problems.
The conversation covers a wide range of issues including working addiction, financial struggles, selfish tendencies, and the tricky terrain of sponsorship and trust. Richard and his guests also highlight the role of technology in supporting recovery and why daily reflections can be a game-changer. With a mix of humor and raw honesty, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating the complex journey of addiction recovery.
