How do you know that people are telling the truth? In every other part of society I'm always trying to figure out whether people are telling the truth. You question everything about the society, whether people are telling the truth or not, but when it comes to somebody in an AA meeting saying they're years sober, it's without question, absolutely.
Ever pondered the shift from face-to-face therapy to digital recovery? In this episode of 'Don't Die Podcast', Bob Forrest and his co-host Chuk tackle this modern twist in addiction treatment. Bob doesn't hold back as he recounts his own experiences with the marginalization of treatment professionals, and how this trend has evolved over the years. He dives into the history of addiction treatment and speculates on what the future might hold. But that's just the beginning.
Bob also reflects on society's decline, touching on everything from our morbid fascination with serial killers to the dark web's influence. It's a conversation that veers from the deeply personal to the broadly societal, always with an eye on how these issues impact addiction and recovery. Bob's recent spiritual retreat offers another layer to the discussion, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and reflection in the recovery journey. And let's not forget the AA mentality.
Bob and Chuk question the blind trust often given in AA meetings, urging listeners to think critically about their recovery paths. This episode is a rollercoaster of topics, all tied together by Bob's candid reflections and Chuk's probing questions. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or just curious about the complexities of addiction treatment, this episode offers a fresh perspective on some tough issues.
