In this episode, I briefly outline some of the issues that will be discussed in the podcast. Listen and find out if this podcast is something that you might find beneficial to your recovery. If you've had a relapse, tune in and see if you can identify with my experiences.  In future Recovery & Relapse episodes, I'll address:

- Coping strategies and how to improve them/discover new ones

- Repairing relationships and starting new ones

- Addressing issues that caused you to use in the first place, such as trauma, shame, and anxiety

- Regaining and/or finding a new purpose in life after treatment

- Avoiding triggers and dealing with cravings

- Obstacles that recovering addicts face in gaining employment

- Learning how to gracefully remove yourself from risky environments

These are just some of the topics that will be discussed.  As I said in this episode, I'm going to keep this podcast a wide-open forum for those in recovery and those who have relapsed or have not yet begun to seek recovery.
