New Year, New Challenges: Resolutions and Recovery with TWLOHA

Shame is a nasty little beast for me, and what I've learned just through educating myself as a mental health advocate and just through my own lived experience is that the opposite of shame is vulnerability.
As the calendar flips to a new year, many of us feel the urge to set fresh resolutions. But what happens when these well-intentioned goals intersect with the complexities of addiction and mental health? In this episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms', host Chad Moses sits down with licensed mental health counselor Michelle Moore and mental health advocate Donaven Smith to unpack the tricky relationship between resolutions, relapse, and recovery.
They dive into how the all-or-nothing mindset often tied to New Year's resolutions can complicate the journey for those battling alcohol abuse, addiction, and self-injury. The conversation doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities but instead offers a compassionate look at the importance of community support and self-compassion in recovery. You'll hear about the non-linear nature of healing and why relapse is often part of the process.
If you’re navigating your own mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a reminder that you’re not alone.
