I don’t know (Clean and Sober)

In this episode of 'The Leaves of a Victim Nevermore', Steven Wilson opens up about the complexities of addiction recovery, sharing his personal experiences and reflections. Steven reads from the Narcotics Anonymous Blue Book, focusing on the harsh realities of relapse and the importance of daily commitment to recovery. He also discusses a new member in his group therapy who has been diagnosed with co-occurring disorders and is tackling both group therapy and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Steven's take on therapy methodologies is refreshingly candid – he supports whatever works for each individual, even if NA wasn't the right fit for him. He highlights the notion that addiction recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all journey, and what works for one person might not work for another. Steven also touches on the idea that treatment can sometimes become a new addiction, with individuals becoming overly reliant on their support systems.

He challenges the fear-based rhetoric often found in recovery programs and encourages a more personalised approach to healing. If you're looking for an honest, raw discussion on addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
