Those little decisions sometimes can really turn everything on its side, you know, yeah, or it can send you down a path of good, good or hell...
Ever wondered how family visits, politics, and unusual therapy methods intersect in the journey of addiction recovery? In this eye-opening episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield sits down with guest Dustin to unravel these very topics. Corey shares personal stories about his family dynamics and the unexpected turns his life took after deciding to go to rehab.
He opens up about his initial misconception of rehab as a place for genuine help, only to find out it often operates more like a business. This realization was a catalyst for Corey to start the 217 Recovery non-profit organization, aimed at supporting those in early recovery or still battling addiction. The episode also ventures into the realm of unconventional therapies, including what Corey refers to as 'torture therapy'.
He recounts how this intense method helped him confront his anger and frustration in a controlled setting. If you've ever been curious about alternative therapy approaches, Corey's experiences might just pique your interest. Politics also makes its way into the conversation, particularly around the topic of medical marijuana. Corey discusses how medical marijuana has been instrumental in managing his pain and anxiety, offering an alternative to addictive prescription medications.
He touches on the hurdles faced by those with felonies, especially veterans who became addicted to opioids after being prescribed them for injuries. This episode is a blend of raw honesty and thought-provoking discussions, providing listeners with a unique perspective on addiction recovery. Corey's candid reflections and Dustin's insights make for an engaging listen that’s sure to resonate with many. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable takeaways and a sense of community.
