Lost in Thought: Finding Strength and Gratitude in Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Importance of reaching out to a support system in times of struggle
  • Evolution of one's higher power and its role in recovery
  • Challenges of rebuilding trust and boundaries after addiction
  • Finding gratitude and purpose in life post-recovery
  • Embracing the lifetime pursuit of recovery and personal growth
But at the same time, you have to ask yourself, do you really got it? Because I never, never, never, the answer to that is never. There's no such thing as got it. There's no such thing as recovered. There's a recovery, you know. There's no okay, I'm done, I've hit the finish line of all of this because there is no finish line. This is a lifetime pursuit.
Imagine being told not to visit your own mind alone because it’s a bad neighborhood. That’s the kind of humor and honesty you’ll find in this episode of 'Recovery For Life'. Hosted by Chris Howard, a Peer Counselor at Indigo Recovery in New York City, this episode dives into the complex and sometimes chaotic journey of addiction recovery. Chris and his guests share personal stories about feeling lost in their own thoughts and the importance of seeking support.
They tackle the often controversial topic of a higher power, with refreshing openness—whether it’s a spiritual being or a giant tortoise named George (yes, really!). The discussion doesn’t shy away from tough subjects like rebuilding trust and setting boundaries, but it’s balanced with moments of humor and gratitude. Listeners will hear firsthand how community and candid conversations can be lifelines in the recovery process.
This episode is perfect for anyone touched by addiction, offering both inspiration and practical insights for the journey ahead.
