Getting to that point of when I write, like I said, the time the second one came out, and that title is called when life and reality collide, because at my time in my recovery, that's where for me, when the old behaviors and the new behaviors meet, they don't rub noses like eskimos to me, they clash.
Have you ever wondered how people find the strength to face their fears and rebuild their lives after addiction? In this episode of 'Hope Dealer', Ed McDonough, CEO of GateHouse Treatment, sits down with author and recovery advocate Lewis Hastings. With 23 years of sobriety under his belt, Hastings shares his journey, from the early days of recovery to becoming a published author.
His books draw from his personal experiences, offering a raw look at the struggles and triumphs of staying clean. Ed McDonough also opens up about his own path to recovery, discussing how it led him to his current role at GateHouse Treatment. Together, they explore the importance of seeking help, the therapeutic benefits of writing, and the challenges of coping with grief and loss during recovery.
As Hastings poignantly puts it, 'when the old behaviors and the new behaviors meet, they don't rub noses like eskimos to me, they clash'. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of hope and the importance of support systems in recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find this discussion both enlightening and encouraging.
