Wedding Bells and Recovery Tales: Episode 89 of Off the Rails Recovery
I went to a therapist one time and she was a recovering addict, and it was so much easier to talk to someone that actually knows what it's like than it is to talk to somebody.
In Episode 89 of 'Off the Rails Recovery', the trio is back together, and there's plenty to catch up on. Just days before Jared's wedding, he joins Mark and Dave for a lively chat about their lives and recovery journeys. Jared opens up about his busy month, juggling long workdays and wedding preparations, while also sharing how he's been doing mentally.
Mark is on a roll, hitting new personal bests at the gym, powering through his schoolwork, and gearing up to enter the addiction support field. Dave, recently back from his travels, talks about missing his Lethbridge family but finding solace in a solid workout routine and job hunting. The episode isn't just about their individual updates; it's also filled with candid conversations about therapy, dreams, and TV show recommendations.
One memorable moment is when Jared reflects on his experience with a therapist who was also a recovering addict, making it easier for him to open up. They touch on the importance of not being defensive in recovery and breaking the stigma around addiction. This episode is a mix of heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a sprinkle of humor, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own recovery path or supporting someone who is.
