What if the key to a successful recovery was more than just staying sober? In this engaging episode of 'The Sobriety Blueprint', host Jonathan Sylvester chats with Tom Shanahan, the brain behind 'Spiritual Adrenaline: A Lifestyle Plan to Nourish and Strengthen Your Recovery'.

The conversation dives deep into how integrating healthy lifestyle choices with the 12 Steps can transform recovery into a holistic process. Tom stresses that the road to recovery is about much more than quitting substances; it's about overcoming poor lifestyle choices that often accompany addiction. From discussing the negative impact of sugar on sobriety to highlighting the power of nature in connecting with a higher power, Tom covers it all.
