What does recovery really mean? The first episode of 'The Purple Bull Podcast' dives deep into this question, bringing together voices from across the recovery spectrum. Hosted by UK Recovery Radio, this episode is a labor of love from fifteen volunteers who are themselves on the recovery journey. With minimal resources but maximum heart, they’ve crafted a show that’s both raw and uplifting.
Listeners are treated to interviews with individuals who’ve battled addiction and come out the other side, as well as professionals who dedicate their lives to helping others do the same. The episode covers a wide range of topics, from the concept of recovery capital to the benefits of group recovery. You’ll hear heartfelt poetry in 'Recovery and The Seasons' and get practical advice in 'Step Up to the Plate'. The discussions don’t stop there.
The hosts also tackle the nitty-gritty of the 12-step process and the importance of self-appraisal in making progress. There's a look at future opportunities for those in recovery, focusing on employment and education support.

is their lust for life, their absolute enthusiasm for everything about life, and that, to me, is heartening, inspiring, and everybody's got a lot to learn from it'. This episode is perfect for anyone looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a sense of community. Tune in to understand what recovery means from those who live it every day.
