 Title: The Support and Kindness Podcast with Greg and Rich Episode 11: What Does Recovery Look Like To You? Date: November 15, 2025 Hosts: Greg, Rich, Jay Episode summary: This episode explores how recovery can look different depending on the person and the context—addiction, eating disorders, mental health, or physical rehabilitation. The conversation emphasizes community, accountability, coping skills, and the importance of seeking help. Jay shares an honest account of addiction and long-term sobriety, Rich focuses on physical rehabilitation and the power of milestones and community, and Greg reflects on family, stigma, and the transformation that recovery can bring. Together, they stress that recovery is not linear, setbacks are feedback, and asking for help is brave. Key themes: Recovery is personal and non-linearCommunity and connection reduce isolation and improve outcomesCoping skills replace harmful habits over timeSetbacks are learning opportunities, not failuresMental health support is essential in all forms of recoveryAccountability and routine foster progressForgiveness—especially self-forgiveness—is a crucial step Noteworthy quotes and observations: From Greg: Quote: “Recovery is not a straight line or a checklist. It’s more of a winding river… sometimes it’s smooth and sometimes it’s rough, but it’s always changing.”Observation: Greg reframes relapse as “valuable feedback about triggers or skills that still need to be built.”Personal insight: He shares a powerful story of his stepmother’s transformation through sobriety and treatment—moving from chaos and harm to kindness and love—highlighting how recovery can change identity and relationships.Call to action: “I care. People care. I love you. You are worth it… seek help.” He provides concrete resources and urges listeners to reach out. From Jay: Quote: “They say that if you hear enough in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, that one day something clicks. And one day something did click.”Milestone: Coming up on 11 years sober on December 5; earned his 10-year coin; sober from both alcohol and heroin.Insight: Gradual commitment helped—“I was just going to wait a week… then two… then a month”—showing how short-term goals can build long-term sobriety.Observation: He connects physical injury and addiction, sharing a traumatic brain injury and the painful shift from pain meds to heroin, underscoring the intersection of medical care and substance use.Key point: “Eventually you have to forgive yourself… it’s a necessary step of recovery in any fashion.” From Rich: Quote: “There’s a mental health side of recovery to injury or to addiction that can’t be ignored.”Focus: Physical rehabilitation milestones—range of motion, weight-bearing, and measurable progress with a therapist.Observation: The rehab schedule builds a “rehabilitation community” that supports accountability and motivation.Insight: Modern medicine and therapy can restore careers after injuries that were once career-ending (e.g., ACL, Achilles), highlighting hope and the role of persistence and care. Main takeaways: Recovery looks different for everyone—addiction, eating disorders, mental health, injury—and every path is valid.Measurable milestones (days sober, therapy sessions, range-of-motion goals) build momentum and hope.Community—12-step rooms, therapists, coaches, friends, faith—is a protective factor; isolation worsens struggle.Setbacks are part of the process; treat them as data to adjust supports and skills.Mental health support should be integrated into all recovery plans.Self-compassion and forgiveness are essential—toward self and others.Practical plans may include therapy, medication, support groups, physical therapy, boundaries, joyful activities, nourishing food, and movement that feels good. Episode highlights: Jay’s candid story from first drink at age nine, many rehabs, brain surgery after a drunk driving accident, transition from pain meds to heroin, and long-term sobriety.Rich’s detailed view on physical recovery: tracking progress weekly, building rapport with therapists and fellow patients, and how accountability helps you show up.Greg’s deeply personal reflection on family change through recovery and his strong, compassionate appeal to listeners to seek help. Actionable insights: Set short, achievable goals that compound (e.g., “wait one week” can become “wait one month”).Build a support network and show up regularly—routine creates accountability.Track tangible progress (coins, session counts, reps, degrees of motion) to visualize growth.Reframe setbacks as signals to adjust coping strategies or supports.Incorporate mental health care alongside physical rehab or sobriety programs.Practice self-forgiveness to move forward.
