Ever wondered how a simple energy drink could derail seven years of sobriety? This episode of SOAR (School of Addiction Recovery) kicks off with a raw and honest recount of a relapse that started with a seemingly harmless beverage. Join Dustin, Frank, Hawk, and Riachle as they navigate the rollercoaster of addiction recovery, sharing their experiences and insights on the path to sobriety.
You'll hear about the deceptive nature of Kratom, an energy drink that led to a downward spiral, and the constant battle with the internal narrative that fuels addiction. The conversation delves into the struggles of staying sober, the importance of mindfulness, and the concept of 'the man in the back' - the observer of one's thoughts.
