Balancing Mental Health and Recovery: Richard Woodward's Insights

For me, that's not winning the lottery, it's not having a yacht in the Algarve, it's not having an extra place in Tuscany and a flat in central Paris, although I would very much like those things. They're not looking for us anymore, are they?
Ever wondered how mental health and recovery intertwine? In this episode of 'Recovery Central', part of the Flat Out Recovery series, Richard Woodward dives deep into this critical topic. Through candid storytelling and personal anecdotes, Richard highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues that often surface during recovery. He shares his own journey, including seeking diagnoses for ADHD and autism after getting sober, and how these revelations shaped his path to wellness.
Richard also discusses the need to adjust expectations—both of oneself and others—during recovery. He emphasizes the role of meetings and community support in navigating these transitions. With a touch of humor, he reflects on the pitfalls of dishonesty and self-pity, making his insights both relatable and thought-provoking. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on maintaining mental well-being while striving for sobriety.
