The Alcohol ReThink Podcast with Patrick Fox 163. Addiction, Recovery and Feeling ReBourne with Bash Bashford
You've quit your addiction, now what?
Life after alcohol, drugs or any other addiction can feel a little different.
A huge part of letting these things go from your life is about creating a new life without them and giving your mind and body a chance to recover.
In episode 163 of the Alcohol Rethink Podcast, host Patrick Fox interviews Bash from Rebourne Recovery.
Bash has been around addiction for over 25 years, and has been in recovery for 17 years from his own personal 'addiction career'. Using his experience and special interest in supporting others, he has been running his ReBourne Recovery practice for the last 5 years.
During this episode, they discuss the importance of learning how to feel better instead of just feeling better. They look at the nature of addiction, and the role of a recovery plan can play in post-addiction life.
Bash shares his personal journey of addiction and recovery, emphasising the need for self-reflection, meditation, exercise, and journaling.
They also touch on the concept of relapse as an opportunity for growth and the importance of embracing both the highs and lows of life.
