S7E4 Removing the Stigma from a Complex Mental Health Illness

S7E4
This episode of the Red Roof Recovery is a discussion about the ongoing challenge of removing the stigma from the complex mental-health illness of addiction.
There is no shortage of tools & techniques to deal with the messiness of life.  Red Roof Recovery is far more than a treatment to overcome addictions.  Red Roof Recovery helps people deal with the multitude of mental health illnesses that plague our society.
 
On this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya talks to social worker Serenity Cates about her challenges - and her success - in overcoming addictions to alcohol & other drugs and how she manages her mental health so she can remain functional in society.
 
You are not the sum of your setbacks - you are the hero of your relentless comebacks!
 
Remember to always talk to yourself like you'd talk to a good friend.
 
Red Roof Recovery is located in the beautiful lakeside town of Goderich where people find a unique and individualized program for recovery and support.

S7E2: What to Do When You're NOT a Good Fit.

S7E2:
In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery show, Tanya revisits the pandemic - when addiction and suicide rates more than doubled. 
During COVID, Tanya became an online facilitator for the Toronto group of SMART (Self Management And Recovery Training).  After 2 years of volunteering with the group, she was told that "Moving forward, we don't feel you're a good fit."
Tanya has been told countless times that she's not a good fit.  It was part of what kept her saddled with addictions most of her life.  Hearing it again - after being free from addictions for a long time - didn't throw her into the vortex of despair again.  This time, she took affirmative action to "never let the fuckers pull you down!"
So, even though Tanya makes reference to smartrecoverytoronto, she now recommends smartrecovery.org https://smartrecovery.org to access the SMART meetings that are available globally - which will be a good fit for everyone!

S6E10 Tools & Techniques for Better Mental Health and Life Balance

S6E10:
There is no shortage of tools & techniques to deal with the messiness of life.  Red Roof Recovery is far more than a treatment to overcome addictions.  Red Roof Recovery helps people deal with the multitude of mental health illnesses that plague our society.
 
On this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya talks about how challenging it can be to live in an achievement-oriented society while finding life balance because we are programmed by:
Social and cultural conditioning that dictates how we should act, look, and think.
Media messages that tell us happiness is just one product or procedure away.
A relentless economy that fosters an endless cycle of work, debt, and consumption, leaving little room for introspection.
Remember...
You are not the sum of your setbacks - you are the hero of your relentless comebacks!
Always talk to yourself like you'd talk to a good friend.

How is Addiction related to the Stages of Grief?

In this episode of the Red Roof Recovery, Tanya and Lance share some insights about how their 30+ years of marriage barely survived Tanya's addictions.
Lance talks about how he experienced the "7 Stages of Grief" while living through Tanya's addictions and recovery!
Moving to Spain in 2007 was the pivotal point for Tanya to hit what's referred to as "rock bottom."
After a 30-day stay in rehab - and 8 years of relapsing while in the 12-step programs of Alcoholic's Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous - Tanya says her path to freedom finally came from an evidence-based program called SMART.
