Recovery podcasts drive me insane! However.....
I've always wanted to find a good recovery podcast to listen to, one that would inspire me, give me answers to questions I have or one that I can identify to the content of, however, I had up until recently never found one that didn't drive me insane!
They either are hosted by some over enthusiastic American, to which id like to add, I love Americans, but sometimes when you just need a podcast to give you a cuddle and to be chilled to calm down my anxiety, I'm annoyed to have to go through one after another after another before I can find one that is not shouting at me!
I also prefer podcasts that, in general, have one or two hosts, I don't always like the guests, only because like I just mentioned, they all talk over each other and it makes my head spin!
so you can imagine my absolute joy when I recently found a BBC Podcast called Hooked
Hooked is hosted by two ladies, one called Jade and one called Melissa. One of whom is an alcoholic and the other an addict, the two ladies met whilst in rehab and were somehow chosen by the BBC to host a Recovery podcast and to describe it in their own language, its a walts and all podcasts, it aims to take away some of the stigma around addiction and mental health.
Hooked has now finished but you can still find it online and I really do hope they make another series, it is by far the best podcasts for addiction I have ever listened to. The girls are honest, funny, sensitive and genuine. There are guests invited to the show but unlike others, I have listened to, all their guests have something valuable to bring to the table, they are all interesting and as a listener, the whole set up keeps me engrossed and has my undivided attention.
So, for those of you also looking for a recovery podcasts that ticks all the boxes below is the link for the podcasts and anything I could paste to help you find it
Happy Listening!
