Show Up and Stay | Sober Positive Workplace
A recovery podcast to bridge the gap between healing from the substance and healing your life. We have some technology and science, but primarily storytelling and heart. We cover various topics related to finding sobriety and unlocking sustainable recovery. Topics include healing from substance use disorder, managing cravings, emotions in early sobriety, triggers, mental health, comorbidity, managing depression and anxiety, dopamine, the addicted brain, grounding, re-parenting, handling disappointment, substance grieving, acceptance, and more. Our current focus is on Sober Positive Workplace.
