Mental Health in Isolation: Graham and Martin's Take on Recovery Challenges

As hard as he was on his gratitude list was, he said he'd started to walk down to the local pond and feed the ducks, and he said it was so distant from what he'd ever thought possible in the past.
Isolation can be a tough hurdle, especially if you're on the path to recovery or still grappling with addiction. In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive into the mental health struggles that come with being alone. They chat about the unique difficulties faced by those in recovery, offering practical advice and personal anecdotes to help listeners navigate these challenging times.
Gratitude takes center stage as they explore how focusing on what we have, rather than what's missing, can be a game-changer. Martin shares a quirky story about showing up to the podcast with paint-splattered glasses, adding a touch of humor to the discussion. To lift spirits, Graham even belts out one of Martin's favorite American rock tunes from the '80s.
The episode also features a guest who finds solace in feeding ducks, showcasing how small acts of gratitude can make a big difference. Whether you're dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of empathy, humor, and actionable tips to help maintain good mental health during isolation.
