    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.

    Let's Recover Together S02 E11

    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. Tune in now to find out more!!

    Let's Recover Together S02 E10

    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.

    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!!

    Let's Recover Together S02 E07

    Welcome listeners, to episode 7 of series 2, and for the first time, we welcome to the studio someone who is not in recovery themselves, but who is a family member of someone in recovery. Owen is part of the Living Room family here in Cardiff, and he talks about how life with his partner was at first exciting, but how over time that excitement turned to anxiety in the days leading up to the weekend, when his partner would party until late into the night. As his partner found recovery, Owen took the opportunity to look at his own behaviour, and after starting to attend Family Group meetings at The Living Room, he took the opportunity to study to become a Recovery Coach. Having passed that qualification, Owen now facilitates family group therapy sessions at The Living Room, and in this episode he tells us how recovery has bought him, and his partner, peace, and the ability to be open and honest with each other. Yet another episode not to be missed!!

    Let's Recover Together S02 E06

    For episode 6 we were delighted to welcome our friend Bethan to our recording studio in Cardiff. Bethan talks about her early life, and arguments at home, before telling us how she discovered alcohol in her mid-teens, and would stay at home drinking all day while her parents were out. After being expelled from school she moved to the south of France to work, which she hoped would help her give up alcohol, but it was not to be. Moving back to the UK she met and married a brewer (in her own words, she "cut out the middle man") and started a family. Tragedy struck however, and eventually the marriage fell apart. Eventually Bethan found a fellowship programme, and she tells us how she has worked her recovery since, and how life is looking for her now. Bethan also brings a very eclectic soundtrack with her as we move from 80s post-punk to musicals and back to the 60s on a musical carousel!!
