Sobriety. Relapse. Shame\u2026 repeat. Sound familiar? If you\u2019re caught in the throes of addiction, odds are you\u2019ve been here before. For many of us, the shame cycle keeps us locked in our addiction. The problem with shame is that it warps our understanding of guilt and takes it a step further by making us feel like we\u2019re a bad person rather than simply making a bad decision. But we want to remind you that there is a way out. There is a path toward healing. In this conversation, Dr. Powers is once again joined by George Joseph, CEO of Positive Recovery Centers, as they discuss the importance of continued treatment on the recovery journey, why relapse doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re broken, and the personal growth it takes in asking for help.&amp;nbsp; The biggest takeaway from this powerful conversation? That you\u2019re not alone in this journey and that there are people willing to lend a helping hand because they\u2019ve been there. You\u2019re not too far gone, and you\u2019re not broken - your disease of addiction just makes you think you are. There is hope, and there is freedom on the other side of sobriety.&amp;nbsp; If you\u2019re ready to break the shame cycle, then this episode is for you! Topics Discussed:   Dispelling common myths behind addiction&amp;nbsp;   Releasing shame around relapse and asking for help   Why community matters for a successful recovery   Recognizing addiction as a disease and treating it accordingly&amp;nbsp;   Spreading hope and freedom through personal testimony&amp;nbsp;   &amp;nbsp;  Connect with us on Social: &amp;nbsp;   IG: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/positiverecoverycenters&amp;nbsp;   FB: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PositiveRecoveryCenters&amp;nbsp;   TT: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@positiverecoverycenter&amp;nbsp;   YT: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg   &amp;nbsp; Additional Links:&amp;nbsp; Want to receive the daily Positive Intervention from Dr. Powers\u2019 Positive Recovery Daily Guide?
