My opinion and experience is that recovery is for those who do it. In relationships, personal friendship, family, intimate or anything, as is probably one of the best reflections and opportunities for me to learn about myself and how to interact with people.
What if everything you thought about recovery was turned on its head? In this episode of 'Hopestream,' Brenda Zane sits down with Matt Nannis, the founder of the PIVOTPoint Program, to challenge some of the most common beliefs about addiction recovery. Matt's story isn't your typical tale of overcoming substance misuse. Instead of a straight path through treatment, Matt's journey is filled with unexpected turns and a focus on small, seemingly insignificant changes that led to a major transformation.
Forget the idea that recovery is only for those who 'really want it.' Matt argues that even the smallest steps can lead to significant change. His experience raises questions about the terms 'failure to launch' and 'regression,' suggesting that these concepts might not be as helpful as we think. Through candid conversation, Matt and Brenda explore how substance use can feel like a safe haven and why the all-or-nothing mindset might need a rethink.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction, whether personally or through a loved one. It offers a fresh perspective on what it means to recover and highlights the importance of parental support and understanding. Tune in to hear Matt's unique insights and discover how small 'pivot points' can reshape a life.
