In this insightful episode of Recovery Radio, hosts Radio Johnny and Denise delve into the complexities of internal triggers in the context of addiction recovery. Broadcasting from KRFP 90.3 FM in Moscow Pullman, the show is an essential outreach initiative by the Latah and Whitmerman recovery communities. The hosts aim to provide guidance and support to individuals navigating the challenges of substance use disorder (SUD) recovery.
The episode begins with Radio Johnny introducing the topic of internal triggers — emotional or psychological states that can provoke cravings related to substance use. Denise joins the conversation, emphasizing how these triggers are not limited to addiction but extend to recovery from grief and other life challenges. Depression emerges as a significant internal trigger discussed in the episode. Denise shares her personal experience with clinical depression during her sobriety journey.
She highlights how cognitive therapy and antidepressants played a crucial role in her recovery. The hosts stress that managing depression through therapy and relaxation techniques like deep breathing can significantly aid in maintaining sobriety. Idle time is another internal trigger that can lead to reminiscing past behaviors associated with substance use. Denise and Radio Johnny emphasize the importance of staying occupied and engaging with community activities to combat this trigger.
They advocate for the formation of new social circles and finding alternative sources of enjoyment that do not involve substances. The episode takes a poignant turn as Radio Johnny shares a story about a friend, Chris, who recently lost a young son. This segment underscores the impact of grief on recovery and the importance of moving forward while cherishing memories of loved ones.
As the episode concludes, Radio Johnny announces that the discussion on external triggers will continue in the next broadcast, promising further insights into managing recovery challenges. The hosts encourage listeners to reach out to local recovery communities for support and resources. Recovery Radio continues to be a beacon of hope and guidance for individuals facing the trials of addiction and behavioral health disorders, fostering a sense of community and resilience.
