Thanks again for giving me the knowledge and the hope while I'm occasionally struggling setbacks. I watch your videos to strengthen trust in the recovery process and it really helps! I could still have been in the rabbit hole had I not found you!

This is great, Raelan! I just "discovered" Shaan in his interview with Dr.Yo and was wondering if you knew of him too!<br>What an amazing guy. Learned so much from him already. So glad you are interviewing him here. Icing on the cake for my personal recovery. Thank you.

The identity of being a "sick person", a "tired person". I see it in recovered drug addicts having it as an identity and it seems so living in the past. I see it in people who introduced themselves as "divorced" instead of "single". Also living stuck in that identity. Easy to see it in others. Not so easy for me to let go of my self created identity.

I got it from flat in bed back to being able to travel and get out with friends .. and so I thought okay, I’m recovered! But I thought it was gonna be something like the Wizard of Oz film when everything went from black-and-white to full colour boom! And I’d suddenly know exactly what I wanted to do. For example so many people in the recovery program I was in talked about being able to get back to the gym I hate gyms ! <br>What I’m learning is that what I’ve gotten is a different way of living my life, whatever it is whatever I choose. It’s something that I live every day I pretty much know how to deal with whatever pops up. I can acknowledge whatever and then let it go. It’s not about what I’m doing. It’s about how I’m doing. I’m happy to hear some talk about what “recovery” might really look like.

So the dude is asked to specifically point some strategies how to work with this on any given Tuesday and his answer is steered completely elsewhere to something along those lines that once you know, you don't need any specific strategies? Why does nobody challenge these people doing this?
