I think it's so important for people to, like you said, Chris, really look at this time as an opportunity going okay, this is what's going on. Do you have comfort meds at your house or access to them or not? You know the hospitals are filled up right now, and is isolating good for your detox?
Picture this: You're stuck at home, the world is on pause, and your usual routines are out the window. It might sound like a recipe for disaster, but Chris Scott and Matt Finch from Elevation Recovery argue that this could be the perfect storm for kicking addiction to the curb. In this episode, they dive into why the quarantine period is an ideal time to break free from alcohol and drug dependencies.
Scott and Finch highlight the high relapse rates that make addiction such a tough beast to tame. But with the world slowing down, they see a golden opportunity for those struggling with addiction to take a step back and focus on recovery. They suggest using this downtime to craft a solid plan for quitting and tapping into online recovery programs that offer a wealth of support and resources.
One key strategy they discuss is tapering off substances gradually rather than going cold turkey. They recommend comfort meds and herbal remedies to ease withdrawal symptoms, making the journey to sobriety a bit smoother. Plus, they touch on the benefits of vitamin D3 and sunlight exposure for boosting respiratory health, which is especially relevant in these times.
Throughout the episode, Scott and Finch share their personal experiences and those of their guests, providing a treasure trove of information on addiction recovery. They emphasize the importance of education and having a robust support system, whether through online communities or other means. If you're finding the current situation challenging, this episode offers a hopeful perspective. It’s about turning a difficult time into an opportunity for growth and health.
So why not tune in and start your journey towards a brighter, addiction-free future?
