Navigating Recovery: Understanding Triggers and Stages with POP Buchanan

My story is: I'm out, I beat the wall and now I'm in my adjustment and resolution phase, and I want that for you.
In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', POP Buchanan continues his 'Back to the Basics, Recovery Roadmap' series, offering an in-depth look at the stages of addiction recovery. POP draws on the SAMHSA Matrix Model to guide listeners through the essential phases, from the initial cessation of substance use to the critical period of biological readjustment. The episode highlights how understanding these stages can help prevent relapse by identifying and managing personal triggers before they escalate into cravings.
POP emphasizes the significance of long-term rehab and a strong support system, especially during the challenging 'Wall' stage, where the brain's chemical changes can make relapse seem justifiable. He discusses how balancing exercise, rest, and daily routines can integrate recovery tools into everyday life. In the adjustment phase, POP reminds us that recovery is a continuous journey, not a one-time event.
With his signature blend of empathy and practical advice, POP encourages listeners to stay committed to their sobriety goals, honoring their promises to themselves and their higher power. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting a loved one through it.
