Life is about reinventing yourself after recovery, as daunting as it is, it's also one of the most pleasurable long-term life growing experiences that you need to go through. Recovery Movie Meetups is a way to show experiences without actually having to live those experiences, but getting the same lessons learned out of those experiences.
Imagine finding solace and healing in the flicker of a movie screen. In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', host Arlina Allen welcomes back Ted Perkins, a former Hollywood film producer and author, to discuss the unique power of storytelling in addiction recovery. Ted, who previously shared his recovery journey and insights from his book 'Addicted in Film: Movies We Love About the Habits We Hate', now introduces his new companion workbook, 'Recovery Movie Meet-ups'.
Backed by experts from SMART Recovery and Harvard Psychiatry, this workbook is designed to facilitate group activities and discussions centered around movies. Ted explains how these meet-ups can create a supportive environment for individuals to reflect on their own journeys through the lens of film. This episode dives deep into how movies can act as mirrors, helping us see our struggles and triumphs in new ways.
Ted's personal story adds a layer of authenticity, making this discussion not just informative but also deeply relatable. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on using storytelling as a powerful tool for healing.
