Skip Haynes' Guide to Addiction Recovery: The Book of Rehab
You know, the main premise of this book and everything is your environment.
Picture this: You're at the end of your rope, promising yourself and your loved ones that you'll never touch drugs again. But where do you start? Skip Haynes, a graphic designer turned author, has been there. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Haynes about his step-by-step guidebook, The Book of Rehab. Drawing from his personal experiences, Haynes believes that only someone who's been through addiction can truly communicate the path to recovery.
His book serves as a standalone program but can also complement any other rehab efforts. Haynes discusses the importance of taking personal responsibility for one's health and the negative ripple effects of drug addiction on the environment. He also shares how incorporating animals into recovery programs and using positive reinforcement can make a world of difference. One memorable takeaway? You can't pay anyone to get high for you, and you can't pay anyone to get clean for you.
Throughout the episode, Haynes emphasizes the role of support systems and humor in recovery. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on overcoming addiction, this conversation offers practical advice and heartfelt insights.
