Facing Triggers: Chris G's Journey on Radio Rehab
“Obviously, there can be a million triggers, but on Tuesday it wasn't Monday, whatever. If you get too close to someone and one of you slips and relapses, there's a chance. You could fall with that person, and I think I've been to nine funerals since January Of This Year.”
Ever wondered how triggers can shape the path of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Radio Rehab', Dayna Keyes sits down with guest co-host Chris G to unpack the complex world of addiction triggers. Both recovering addicts, Dayna and Chris share raw, personal stories that shed light on the daily struggles and triumphs of staying sober. Chris opens up about the heartbreak of attending nine funerals of fellow recovering addicts since January, underscoring the importance of vigilance in recovery.
They discuss how being around others who are still using can be a minefield for relapse and the tough choices required to maintain sobriety. The conversation takes a hard look at addiction-related criminal behavior, with Chris candidly recounting his own experiences with stealing to support his habit. He emphasizes the critical role of honesty and responsibility in the recovery journey. Setting boundaries, especially with loved ones, is another challenging aspect they delve into.
Chris shares his struggles with maintaining boundaries in his relationship with his mother and how learning to set them has been vital for his sobriety. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone navigating addiction recovery, highlighting that while the journey is tough, it's possible to overcome and lead a fulfilling life.
