Facing Relapse Anxiety: Surgery, Sobriety, and Stevie Nicks

And I've got to face this, this fear that I have, that I'm going to relapse because I'm going to have the surgery and you did what you needed to do to take care of yourself at The End Of The Day, which is like the most important thing.
Ever had a routine surgery that turned into a mental minefield? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara tackle the often-overlooked issue of relapse anxiety. Tawny kicks things off by sharing how having her wisdom teeth pulled spiraled into extreme fear of relapse. Lisa jumps in with her own story about wrist surgery and the potential drama of being prescribed painkillers.
They both reflect on how easy it is to take sobriety for granted until life throws a curveball. This candid conversation aims to destigmatize relapse, acknowledging that it’s a common part of many recovery journeys. The episode wraps up with a 'Music Minute' segment, paying tribute to the legendary Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Whether you're navigating sobriety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers heartfelt insights and a dash of rock 'n' roll.
