Being willing to ask for help is a real move forward.
Imagine you've just completed rehab, and now you're faced with the challenge of maintaining your recovery. This episode of 'Sideways' dives deep into what comes next. Hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst share their personal experiences and insights on how to stay on track after detox or any emotional upheaval that has thrown you off balance.
From Martin's amusing gripe about confusing Netflix with Amazon to his side effects from a Covid jab, the episode is peppered with humor and real-life anecdotes. They even touch on their fathers' quirky habits of renaming pop and rock bands, adding a light-hearted twist to the serious subject matter. The conversation shifts to the core issues of sustaining recovery. Graham and Martin stress the importance of aftercare support and the resources available to help you transition back into daily life.
Whether it's through community programs or private facilities, they highlight the need for a robust support system. Setting boundaries and managing expectations are also crucial topics, as is the role of structure and routine in maintaining sobriety. One of the key messages is the power of small victories and self-care. The hosts discuss how instability and lack of structure can be major hurdles in early recovery, and how setting small goals can provide a sense of purpose and direction.
They also delve into the challenges of repairing broken relationships and building new ones. Navigating the shame and guilt from past mistakes can be tough, but as Graham notes, 'asking for forgiveness is one of the bravest things you can do'. This episode offers a compassionate and genuine look at the realities of recovery. It's a reminder that seeking help and support is not a sign of weakness but a step towards rebuilding a healthy, sustainable life.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement.
