I remember it feeling really really numb that entire year- and we talk a lot about that- is, you're trying to ultimately attach into the ebb and flow of life the natural ebb and flow of life, and I even think in recovery.

That's exactly what longtime friends Chris and Jeff discuss in this episode of 'Since Right Now'. With over three decades of relapse-free recovery between them, they open up about the emotional and sensory numbness that often comes with early sobriety. It's like peeling back layers of an onion, only to find tears and raw emotions underneath.
But don't worry, it's not all gloom and doom; their candidness brings a sense of relief and camaraderie that feels like a warm hug on a cold day. Chris and Jeff dig deep into the uncomfortable reality of facing your true self once the substances are gone. They talk about how repressed emotions bubble up to the surface, sometimes making you feel like you're meeting yourself for the first time.
