Ever felt like you don't fit in? In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery Show, Tanya McIntyre shares her personal journey of being told she's 'not a good fit' and how it affected her recovery. During the pandemic, Tanya volunteered for SMART Recovery in Toronto, only to be told she wasn't suitable for the role after two years of dedication. This rejection echoed past experiences and stirred up old feelings of inadequacy.
Tanya opens up about how such moments have been part of her struggle with addiction and recovery. She reflects on the importance of finding the right support system and how cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has played a crucial role in her healing process. Tanya also discusses the SMART Recovery programme, which focuses on self-management and offers tools to help individuals maintain motivation, handle urges, and manage thoughts and emotions.
If you've ever felt out of place or questioned your path in recovery, Tanya's story might just resonate with you. Tune in to hear her candid reflections and gain insights into the various models of recovery that can help you find your own fit.
