Chris's Rollercoaster Day: Navigating Early Recovery with Corey and Ryan
When you feel the way that you feel, it's good, like I say: unzip, open up, let it all out, let it hit the floor.
Picture this: a day filled with emotional highs and lows, all while trying to stay on the path of sobriety. That's what Chris goes through in this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast. Hosts Corey Winfield and Ryan Beckman are there to support him, but they also manage to sprinkle in some humor, making it a relatable and engaging listen.
From the importance of attending meetings to sharing personal stories, Corey and Ryan dive deep into the realities of early recovery. They talk about reconnecting with family, dealing with tragedy, and the ever-present challenge of avoiding relapse. But it's not all serious; there's plenty of light-hearted banter that keeps the conversation balanced. One particularly touching segment is when the hosts discuss using safe talk to prevent suicide.
Corey and Ryan open up about their own experiences with suicidal thoughts and how they've learned to cope. They emphasize the importance of accepting one's past and moving forward. This episode is a great reminder that recovery is a journey requiring commitment, dedication, and a willingness to be vulnerable. Corey and Ryan's ability to blend serious topics with humor makes for an inspiring and hopeful listen.
