Shelly Sprague: Unraveling the Complexities of Addiction and Recovery

I've known Shelly through this whole journey... And the antisocial part of all the production- people telling her go in there and make him throw a fit and all that thing.
Shelly Sprague, the beloved Rehab Tech, returns to 'This Life #YOULIVE' with Dr. Drew, Bob Forrest, and Mike Catherwood for an eye-opening conversation. Shelly dives into her personal experiences with addiction, trauma, and the path to recovery, offering listeners a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs that come with sobriety.
The episode kicks off with a thought-provoking question from comedian Craig Shoemaker that sets the stage for a deep discussion on mind-brain dualism and the fundamental questions of existence. Shelly and the hosts explore how early attachment issues and dependencies can lead to long-lasting wounds that affect one's journey through life. They touch on the compulsions that drive addictive behaviors and the resistance many feel towards programs designed to break these cycles.
Shelly's story is a powerful testament to human resilience, as she shares her experiences with treatment centers, relapse, and the ongoing battle to maintain sobriety. The hosts also discuss practical topics like accessing physician services from home, making this episode not only inspiring but also informative. If you're looking for genuine insights into addiction and recovery, Shelly's journey offers a compelling narrative that will leave you both moved and enlightened.
