Let's Recover Together S02 E12

Welcome to episode 12 of our second series of "Let's Recover Together", and have we got a treat for you!! London cabbie Dean talks candidly about his addiction to gambling. Describing himself as a "serial relapser", Dean had to reboot his recovery several times before he found a sponsor, and a programme, and started to work those. Discovery that the true secret to a happy life was to "find a purpose bigger than myself", Dean now gives in recovery, rather than just taking, and is enjoying a strong and healthy recovery.

Welcome listeners, to the latest episode of Let's Recover Together. We are delighted that Helen has joined us in the studio to talk about her life, which has been quite the journey!! At school she felt unpopular, something many of us will identify with. Helen first had suicidal thoughts when she was just 8 years old, and started drinking soon afterwards. Despite her drinking, Helen managed to be part of a competition dressage team in her teens, and got a degree at university. Her drinking ramped-up in her 20s, and in her 30s she suffered a major stroke. It was the wake-up call she needed, and today works as a life coach and is about to have her first book published.

Welcome, fellow recoverees, we hope you are all fit and well and looking forward to the weekend. We're getting toward the midway point of series 2, and for this episode we were delighted to welcome Michaelis to the show. As a self-confessed "mixed-race kid with an afro", Michaelis felt like he didn't really fit in with his peers as a teenager, and he turned to alcohol initially, before discovering weed and then stronger drugs later in his teens. After being arrested for possession with intent, Michaelis found himself facing a lengthy prison term of at least 25 years, but his higher power had a card to play, and Michaelis ended up on a programme to keep him out of a long-term jail sentence, and off the alcohol and drugs. It's quite a story - listen now to hear it and discover where he is in his life now. TRACKLIST 1. The Doors - The Crystal Ship 2. Danzig - I'm The One 3. Alice In Chains - Junkhead 4.

Let's Recover Together S02 E08

Welcome to episode 8 of series 2, where the Let's Recover Together team talk to Chip. Chip starts his story by telling us about his childhood, one perhaps of privilege but where love, affection, and encouragement were notably lacking. Sent to boarding school before he was 7, Chip suffered abuse there, and left school and home as soon as he was able for the lure of life in London just before the "summer of love" started to take off. Starting with marijuana, Chip soon found himself using heroin, and quickly became addicted to it, and a life of crime followed to fund the addiction. A spell in prison made him realise his life had to change - listen now to hear how he turned his life around, and in one way or another, everything he does in life now is focused on recovery!!
