Welcome to the inaugural episode of our brand new podcast, Recovered Addict, hosted by Duane Yardman-Frank and Jason Rigby. The series aims to delve deep into the realm of addiction, recovery, and the journey to a healthier life.
For our very first episode, we've chosen a topic that's often overlooked in discussions about addiction recovery - the physical dimension. Yes, addiction is a mental health issue, but it's also a physical one. It wreaks havoc not just on your mind, but on your body too.
The Physical Impact of Addiction
Substance abuse, whether it's alcohol or drugs, takes a heavy toll on your body. This can manifest in many ways, from weight changes and skin problems to severe organ damage and increased risk of disease. It's a difficult reality, but it's important to face it head-on if we're to understand the full impact of addiction.
Recovery: Rebuilding the Body
In this episode, we explore how the body can heal and recover when addiction is left behind. It's a powerful testament to our body's resilience. We discuss diet, exercise, and other wellness practices that can aid in rebuilding the body during the recovery journey.
But recovery isn't just about the physical. It's a holistic process that involves the mind, body, and spirit. To truly overcome addiction, we need to take care of all these facets.
Join Us on the Journey
We, Duane and Jason, invite you to join us as we embark on this enlightening journey. Our mission with the Recovered Addict Podcast is to create a space where we can discuss these issues openly, sharing our own experiences and lessons along the way.
Our hope is that through these conversations, we can support others on their path to recovery, helping them find the strength and strategies to reclaim their physical health and overall well-being.
This is just the first of many enlightening discussions we have lined up for you. So tune in, engage with us, and let's walk the path of recovery together. Stay tuned for episode #2, where we'll explore the mental aspect of addiction and recovery.
