When we're depleted, everybody acts like homer simpson: it doesn't matter who you are right and you're going to be like or you know whatever it might be.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, climbing back up, and then finding yourself slipping again. This episode of Positive Recovery MD brings you the compelling story of Dow Hickam, the owner of Top Drawer Lingerie, who knows this journey all too well. Joining Dr. Jason Powers and Julie DeNofa, Dow opens up about his rollercoaster ride through sobriety, relapse, and eventual recovery.
Sobriety at 19, a solid four-year streak, followed by a devastating relapse—Dow’s story is a testament to the challenges and triumphs of addiction recovery. He talks candidly about the aftermath of his relapse and the long road back to sobriety, finally getting clean on May 23rd, 2008. But Dow's tale isn't just about the lows; it's about the incredible highs that come with self-awareness and self-confidence.
Through yoga and prayer, he found a deeper meaning in life, discovering that small daily decisions can pave the way for major life changes. Dow shares how connecting with a Higher Power helped him navigate the tough times and build a stronger, more resilient self. The episode also dives into the Positive Recovery Daily guide and interventions, offering practical tools for anyone on their recovery journey. From effective parenting during recovery to using humor to defuse tense situations, Dr.
Powers and Julie provide a wealth of insights. One memorable moment? When Dow likens everyone to Homer Simpson when they're depleted—highlighting the importance of self-care in recovery. This episode is packed with valuable lessons on self-awareness, confidence, and spirituality, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on their path to sobriety.
