In recovery we should maybe stick with prayer and meditation.
Ever wondered how to handle prescription medication while on your sobriety journey? In this episode of the 'Real Sobriety Podcast', Robert McClellan tackles this tricky subject with his usual blend of humor and honesty. The discussion revolves around the 11th step of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on spiritual awareness through prayer and meditation, but with a twist—how to manage medications that might be necessary during recovery.
Drawing from his extensive experience in addiction treatment centers, Robert shares personal stories about his own use of antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. He doesn’t shy away from discussing the side effects either, like feeling detached from reality. One of the key points he makes is the importance of being upfront with healthcare providers about your addiction history. Robert also dives into non-narcotic pain management options, sharing his own journey with dental pain and restless legs syndrome.
He chose non-steroidal anti-inflammatories over opioids and is exploring alternative remedies for his latest health challenges. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt call to action: stay connected in your recovery and be mindful of what you put into your body. If you're navigating the rocky road of sobriety and medication, this episode offers both practical advice and a good laugh.
