Lester talks in depth about ways he has learnt and is still learning to manage these emotions. Recovery is a journey, not a destination but remember that #RecoveryIsPossible

Development after recovery is something that is only achievable once you have a good foundations or a solid 'bridge' to a higher part of our minds. Once we have built this bridge it's possible to go from the depths of addiction to leading a happy a fulfilled life. 

It's not always clear that resentment is the thing that's holding you back, it's easy to be lost in a spiral of doubt and hate. The world might not always be right, but resentment certainly will not bring about peace. In this episode we discuss why resentment is the number one offender.

In this maiden episode of the East Coast Recovery Podcast we discuss whether everyone needs to go to residential rehab and the benefits rehab can offer. Are online 1:1 therapies and online recovery groups as good as residential rehab? We also explain why we have created an online course and what it offers.
