Nobody goes into detox or gets into recovery and becomes a worse person.
Ever wondered why the thought of change can be so daunting, especially for those grappling with addiction? In this engaging episode of the 'Sideways' podcast, hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that is recovery. They kick things off with a light-hearted chat about American punk bands, but soon shift gears to tackle more serious topics like the four core emotions and why change feels so intimidating.
The duo shares their personal experiences with detox and rehab, shedding light on the common fears that hold people back from embracing sobriety. They talk about the anxiety of losing one's identity or creativity when giving up substances, debunking the myth that sobriety dulls your spark. Instead, they argue that a sober life can actually enhance your self-worth and bring more joy and humor into your days.
Another intriguing topic they touch on is how people often invent fears to justify their addiction or avoid the hard work of recovery. By examining these fears, listeners are encouraged to question their validity and understand the deeper issues at play. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and inspiration for anyone battling addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Graham and Martin remind us that while recovery isn't easy, it's a journey worth taking.
