You know, for me, I'm obviously worried and scared about my relationship, but I need to take a minute and breathe. Feel the weight of my body pressed on a seat below me, feel for tension starting in my feet. You can give that, and it feels the same as like you're getting a gift.
Austin Choate doesn't sugarcoat his journey through heroin addiction recovery, and this episode of 'Recovery 2.0' is no exception. On day 3 of detox, Austin faces not only the physical agony of withdrawal but also the emotional turmoil of a breakup with the woman he dreams of marrying. He openly shares the harsh reality that, despite his suffering, those he hurt along the way don't feel sorry for him.
This episode sheds light on the often overlooked aspect of detox: the expectation that others should coddle you while you're in pain. Austin talks candidly about how this twisted thinking can derail your recovery if you're not careful. He emphasizes the importance of reaching out for support during these tough times and staying grounded in the present moment.
Feeling the weight of his body pressed into a seat, he becomes acutely aware of tension starting in his feet, reminding us all that sometimes, survival is about taking things one breath at a time. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Austin's raw honesty offers a powerful perspective on the emotional rollercoaster of detox and recovery.
