Episode 31: Emotional Sobriety in Early Recovery
Update: 2023-06-22
Description
What are the early days of recovery like after long-term active addiction? What does it feel like physically and emotionally to try to live free of substances after self-medicating for so long?
Host Gail Ferguson Jones gets answers to these questions and more in a conversation with Certified Peer Recovery Coach Kirstin Gourlay, a relapse prevention specialist who has been in long-term recovery for 12 years.
Gourlay explains:
- The three stages of recovery - physical, mental and emotional.
- The emotional challenges caused by Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS).
- The importance of having a Relapse Prevention Plan.
- The importance of loved ones pursuing their own recovery through a support community, therapy and peer recovery coaching.
