It's simply a lack of creativity. We try to teach that and get that across, especially to the younger kids here- that boredom isn't really a thing. I'm a believer that there's going to be, because of what we're working against, the opposite of that.
Have you ever wondered how a substance abuse counselor views the journey to recovery? In this episode of the SOAR podcast, hosts Dustin, Frank, and the SOAR Crew sit down with Joshua Andrus, a substance abuse counselor who works with armed forces members in San Diego. Joshua brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective on tackling addiction and promoting long-term recovery.
The conversation is rich with insights, touching on everything from the emotional states crucial to recovery to the often-overlooked issue of screen time addiction. Joshua doesn't just stop at discussing the problems; he also shares practical advice on developing healthy habits and the importance of self-care. He emphasizes the need to redefine what service work means in the context of recovery, making it more meaningful and impactful for those on this challenging path.
One of the standout moments in the episode is Joshua's take on boredom and creativity. He argues that boredom is merely a lack of creativity and stresses the importance of teaching this concept, especially to younger individuals. This episode also dives into how to cope with COVID-19's impact on mental health and recovery processes. If you're interested in understanding more about the multifaceted journey of addiction recovery, this episode offers a compassionate and practical look at the issues involved.
