And sometimes, like knowing something like, you also need to have the right kind of support to actually use the knowledge you have to.
What do addiction recovery and the classic Atari game Frogger have in common? Quite a bit, as it turns out. In this episode of 'Casting Light', life coaches Dan and Debbie sit down with Brett, a Guiding Light Recovery alumnus, to explore his journey through the ups and downs of addiction recovery. Brett shares candidly about how his current recovery is different from previous attempts because this time, he's doing it for himself.
The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the challenges of fatherhood while in recovery to the surprising importance of elderberries and even some fun detours into copyright laws and Mount Rushmore. Brett's story emphasizes the significance of self-love and reaching out for help after a relapse. He also discusses how addicts often overestimate their importance in others' lives, a common pitfall that can hinder recovery.
The episode offers a mix of serious insights and light-hearted moments, making it both informative and entertaining. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just interested in the complexities of addiction, this episode provides valuable perspectives and practical advice.
