Corey Winfield Reflects on Covid, Cravings, and Recovery Challenges
Just because you have your vaccination, do not think that you're not going to get covid because you will. So that's just, I'm just throwing it out there. Oh, if you're vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask. Now it would matter, I guess, if I would give it to other people, probably, but I really don't go a lot of places anyway.
Corey Winfield doesn't shy away from tough topics in this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast. Titled 'Back From The Dead', Corey dives into his personal battle with Covid and how it stirred up old cravings for alcohol. He candidly shares the internal debate he faced—considering a drink but ultimately choosing sobriety after weighing the consequences. This kind of raw honesty is what makes the 217 Recovery Podcast a standout resource for anyone on the recovery path.
Corey also talks about the vital role of honesty in recovery, not just with oneself but with loved ones too. He opens up about how even his wife, who has never seen him drunk, expressed concern during his bout with Covid. It's a stark reminder that recovery isn't a straight line; it's filled with ups and downs. Throughout the episode, Corey discusses his strategies for managing cravings and the importance of a solid support system.
And as always, he brings his signature humor to the table, making even the most serious topics feel approachable. If you're looking for a podcast that offers both inspiration and practical advice for recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
