Ever thought about how calling someone an 'addict' might shape their journey to recovery? In this episode of 'Sideways', Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the tricky subject of labels in addiction and recovery. Are these labels helpful, or do they sometimes hold us back? Martin shares his thoughts on why constantly acknowledging a condition doesn't always make it easier to manage. Meanwhile, Graham adds a touch of humor by forgetting the word 'cocaine'.
The duo dives into how fellowship meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous can influence how people see themselves and their conditions. They share personal stories and insights from their clients, making this episode a relatable and thought-provoking listen. As Martin wisely says, 'It’s a part of me, it’s a big part of me, but it’s no longer the defining part'.
This episode invites you to rethink the power of labels and focus on the real goal: confronting addiction and finding a healthy balance in life.
