It's been a bit strange because, as I say, I was called in at fairly short notice, because there's people that have been a bit worried about going into hospital because of the covid business. And then I looked down at her badge that she had on, and it was my first real girlfriend from all Those Years Ago. So I'm going to have to pass you over because we've got history, et cetera, et cetera, and it wouldn't be appropriate.
Imagine being in a hospital and feeling like you're not alone, even when there's no one around. In this episode of 'Sideways', Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst take you through Martin's recent hospital stay, which stirred up some unexpected ghosts from his past. They dive into how these visits can be a real test for anyone in recovery, especially when old memories come rushing back. Martin shares his personal story, highlighting the importance of having support during these tough times.
But that's not all they cover. The duo also touches on the surprising dangers of warming your feet by a wood-burning stove and how seemingly harmless habits can become addictive. They even explore how technology can hook us in ways we don't always notice, drawing parallels with other behavioural addictions. Ever heard of the rat park experiment? Graham and Martin discuss its relevance to understanding addiction today.
And let's not forget the unsung heroes – nurses – and their crucial role in supporting those battling addiction. By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper appreciation for the complexities of recovery and the importance of spreading awareness about addiction. It's an episode filled with raw honesty, engaging stories, and a touch of humour, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
