Abstinence vs. Recovery: Embracing Active Change with Brandon and Kristy

But the life-changing aspects are being able to sit next to someone who is literally at the end of the road like and say: I believe in you and I'm going to be right here with you and watch them rise like there's no other feeling you can give to that.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a holding pattern on your recovery journey? Hosts Brandon Orr and Kristy Laschober tackle this very issue in this episode of 'Survivors of Addiction'. They dive deep into the crucial differences between simply abstaining from substances and actively engaging in recovery.

The hosts also open up about their battles with denial and shame, offering relatable anecdotes that underscore the importance of facing these emotions head-on.
But it’s not all about the struggles; they highlight the immense joy that comes from helping others on their recovery paths. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that moving from abstinence to recovery is not just possible but life-changing.
