The Great Delusion
Many alcoholics and addicts in early recovery believe that eventually they can drink or use again normally. This has been called a reservation but in reality, it is a deadly delusion. The truth is that addicts and alcoholics can never use their drug of choice again safely or in moderation.
In this episode of the Forest Fires, Addiction, Recovery & Redemption podcast we explore the delusion that we can ever go back to being a "normal" user and we discuss why this belief can be deadly.

Stop Running Away from Life
In Season 2 Episode 17 of the Forest Fires Addiction, Recovery & Redemption podcast we discuss the cultural obsession with escape. The world that we live in has made escapism easier than ever. We can disappear into a cell phone, a computer, a television, a movie or social media with the click of a button, and we can ignore life and all of its responsibilities and stresses for a while. Taking a break from life isn't necessarily a bad thing but many of us take the desire to get away to an unhealthy level and we become addicted to the feeling of escape. In this episode we will discuss how escapism can negatively impact our life, our relationships and our recovery.
