City Streets and Sobriety: Dayna and Harry Share Their Journeys

I feel like when we spend more time... the more I realized I needed way more meetings.
Imagine trying to stay sober in the very city where you once spiraled into addiction. That's the raw reality Dayna Keyes and her guest co-host Harry S. unpack in this episode of 'Radio Rehab'. With San Francisco's Mission district as her backdrop, Dayna recounts her struggle to attend recovery meetings in places filled with memories of her past use. Meanwhile, Harry paints a vivid picture of maintaining sobriety amidst the relentless pace of New York City.
Despite their different urban landscapes, both hosts find common ground in the challenges they face daily. The episode dives deep into the importance of dealing with triggers—like walking past drug paraphernalia—and finding positive outlets such as volunteering or creative pursuits to stay grounded. They also explore Refuge Recovery, a mindfulness-based approach that Dayna has been trying out, offering an alternative to the traditional 12-step program.
Throughout their conversation, Dayna and Harry emphasize the crucial role of meetings in staying connected with the recovery community. Dayna shares a personal anecdote about how attending more meetings helped her navigate through a bout of depression. Harry talks about the rewarding yet challenging experience of sponsoring others in recovery, highlighting the need for setting boundaries and self-care.
Wrapping up on a hopeful note, both hosts express their gratitude for the recovery community and encourage listeners to never give up on loved ones still battling addiction. With heartfelt advice and a final shoutout, Dayna reminds everyone to stay connected and keep moving forward on their path to sobriety.
