Chem-free sobriety is not only possible, but it's also the key to unlocking real transformation and healing from addiction. By cultivating a sacred space, seeking God first, and focusing on nutritional healing, you can find hope in the darkness.
Feeling lost in the maze of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', host POP Buchanan sits down with Suzanne Laura Thistle, a seasoned alcohol and drug counselor, to uncover the secrets to a successful recovery journey. Suzanne's extensive experience and personal story offer a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone navigating the rocky path to sobriety.
She began her own recovery journey in 1987 and has since dedicated over 20 years to helping others find their way out of addiction. Suzanne passionately discusses the concept of chem-free sobriety, emphasizing the importance of eliminating all mind-altering substances, including alcohol, drugs, sugar, and caffeine. By focusing on nutritional healing and honoring our bodies, she believes we can pave the way for genuine transformation and well-being.
One of the standout themes in this conversation is the role of spirituality in recovery. Suzanne shares her belief in seeking God first and creating a sacred space for prayer and meditation. She explains how connecting with a higher power can provide the strength and courage needed to overcome addiction. Another crucial aspect Suzanne touches on is the importance of scheduling priorities during the first 90 days of recovery—a period when relapse is most likely.
She highlights the need for movement, self-care, and support groups, all of which can lay a solid foundation for a successful recovery journey. Suzanne also delves into the healing power of writing. As a published author and writing coach, she has seen firsthand how journaling, poetry, and other forms of writing can help individuals process emotions, gain insights into their behaviors, and find meaning in their experiences.

By embracing chem-free sobriety, seeking spiritual guidance, and prioritizing self-care, you can find hope and build a fulfilling life in recovery.
