To be successful in the job that I had at that time, I needed to be flexible and maintain a sense of humor, and I found that to be a really good suggestion for all aspects of my life, including recovery.

The conversation takes a poignant turn as they discuss the impact of COVID-19 on recovery efforts.

Frank reflects on how losing his routine during addiction led to chaos, and how he found stability through rehab. He emphasizes that having a set of guidelines can make a world of difference in staying sober. Throughout the episode, both Nathan and Frank stress the importance of staying connected to the recovery community.
