Episode 19: No Shortcuts in Recovery: The Way Out is Through

🌟 This Week: No Shortcuts in Recovery: The Way Out is Through 🌟This week on Real World Recovery, we’re talking about the tough but necessary process of getting through challenges—without looking for shortcuts. Mitchell shares his experience of fully tapering off opiates and how, despite well-meaning advice from friends, he’s sticking to his plan and seeing it through. We discuss the importance of "playing the tape through" and why short-term discomfort is sometimes necessary to reach long-term success.We also dive into how we used to avoid personal growth by constantly surrounding ourselves with people, our past run-ins with the law (and the value of solid legal representation), and a local Oxford house losing its charter due to a lack of accountability. This sparks a bigger conversation about the need for more sober living spaces and how our actions in recovery shape the public perception of our community.Recovery isn’t just about not using—it’s about giving back, showing up, and proving that we can be productive, engaged members of society. Let’s talk about what that really means.Let’s keep the conversation going!💬 Share your thoughts in the comments—how do you stay committed to the process, even when it’s tough?🔗 Join Our Community:👉 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RealWorldRecovery👉 Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RealWorldRecoveryMedia👉 Join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/2Z3xp4C66J🌐 Connect With Us:Website: https://www.realworldrecovery.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/recoveryrealworld/Special thanks to Jaimie Doering & Vivray LLC for the use of the live audio recording of the Clyde Stubblefield Band's performance at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, WI from May 2007.
