False Hope in Recovery

Where does true, lasting hope come from? The reason we ask this is because if your commitment to recovery is dependent on how you feel, or driven by wanting to feel better, it simply won’t last.

 In the episode, we contrast two different recovery stories: that of singer Amy Winehouse and comedian Russell Brand. Join us as we talk about how to change behavior by taking actions, what taking ownership looks like for the addict and the partner of an addict, and ultimately how we find hope in an oftentimes seemingly hopeless situation.
